9-6 How the Other Half Lives Urbanization and Immigration

Warm up: Spiral Review After looking at and reading about working conditions yesterday, why do you think people put up with them on a daily basis? If someone was to “speak up” what do you think was done about it? 1) Warm Up

Tenement Tour A tenement was a run-down and often overcrowded apartment house, especially in a poor section of a large city. Take a virtual tour of a tenement house: tual_Tour/index_virtual.html tual_Tour/index_virtual.html 2) Tenement

Jacob Riis was a Danish-born muckraker who sought to improve the lives of the poor in New York City. Wait… What in the heck is a muckraker? Help Jacob Riis, define muckraker! 3) Define!

These children are sleeping outdoors – huddled together for warmth. How the Other Half Lives, By Jacob Riis

How does this passage make you feel? …Bodies of drowned children turn up in the rivers right along in summer whom no one seems to know anything about. When last spring some workmen, while moving a pile of lumber on a North River pier, found under the last plank the body of a little lad crushed to death, no one had missed a boy, though his parents afterward turned up… 4) Stop and Jot!

The poor were frequently found drunk or ill to the point of death on the streets. Freezing to death was entirely possible. How the Other Half Lives, By Jacob Riis

Frequently, low paid workers would try to save money by sharing a room. Overcrowding bred disease. How the Other Half Lives, By Jacob Riis

Riis asked his readers to consider: Does the poor baby in this photograph inherit justice and equality? Or does the United States need to take action to insure that working people can provide for the basic needs of their families? How the Other Half Lives, By Jacob Riis

The Effects of Jacob Riis’ How the Other Half Lives Riis’ work brought attention to the conditions in which poor workers and immigrants lived in New York City and other major cities across America. The emphasis Riis put on ending child labor and improving public schools in America helped reformers like Horace Mann establish public schools and helped labor unions to end child labor. Riis’ work inspired members of the settlement house movement, like Jane Addams, the founder of Hull House. The 16 th Amendment to the Constitution, which created a graduated income tax system was adopted when Americans became increasingly aware of the disparity between the wealth and the very poor. How would you respond to seeing these photos if you were alive at that time, would you do anything about it? 5) 1 st Person!
