About this listen

On today’s episode of Meadville in the Making we look at how a boy made in Meadville grew into a reformer who then carried the lessons of our hometown with him as he helped reshape cities, immigration, and democratic life across the nation.


Ashley also really tries to make a case for the stage revival of Hello, Meadville a 1988 musical by Dr. William Holland Jr.
