About this episode
Episode 2 tells the story of John Peter Altgeld, namesake of Altgeld Hall. This is part 1 of the episode, and goes through his early life until his most consequential act as Governor of Illinois.
As I mention at the end of Part 2, I encourage listeners to support a ceasefire in Gaza: https://ceasefiretoday.com/
