The Progressive Movement Modern U.S. History – Hamer Muckraker Photography

Muckrakers Reformers such as Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine took photographs of the living and working conditions of the poor in America. Their photographs helped to introduce the plight of the poor to the rest of America and encouraged people and the government to make necessary improvements.

Homework Many factory jobs required that workers take home piecework to continue working at night. Other workers did not work in factories, but were organized by larger companies to make items in their small homes.
