A Symbol of Hope and Compassion Departs Mercy Hospital
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant moment captured by George Grantham Bain's lens in October 1912, Jane Addams leaves Mercy Hospital in Chicago after a visit with her dear friend, former President Theodore Roosevelt. Just weeks prior, Roosevelt had survived an assassination attempt that left him recovering at the hospital.
As one of America's most renowned social workers and reformers, Addams' presence by Roosevelt's side is a testament to their enduring friendship and shared commitment to public service. Her departure from Mercy Hospital marks not only her leave-taking but also a symbol of hope and compassion in an era marked by turmoil and uncertainty.
Addams' iconic figure, dressed in attire that reflects her modest yet dignified demeanor, stands out against the hospital's imposing backdrop. The black-and-white photograph captures not just a momentary snapshot but also the essence of Addams' tireless advocacy for social justice, women's rights, and international peace. As she steps away from Mercy Hospital, Jane Addams embodies the very spirit of humanitarianism that has inspired generations to come.
