Mother Jones through Chicago: Walking Tour Reflection
Me, far right, concluding Sunday's tour. Brigid Gerace, center-left, was the voice of Mother Jones that day. This weekend I hosted my first walking tour on the life of Mother Jones. I would call the tour a great personal success! Not only was I able to engage members of ILHS, I was able to attract people from all over the city. Our Facebook and Twitter promotions were very successful. I was also able to garner interest from flyers that I put up in student housing and the public library. I wish that I had more time in Chicago (and not just because I have fallen in love with this city). I am proud of what I was able to accomplish is little over a month, but if I had the entire summer, I feel that I could have done a lot more. I enjoyed the research the most and it was hard to pull myself out of the reading and the writing to make sure all the important (but to me, tedious) logistics were set.
