Marriott Bonvoy made my life more difficult at a very different time. Ants in my room so had to move after a long grueling day.Tried to book an extra day and got the run around on line, over the phone, and at the hotel. They sold our room now we have to move again.This sucks.โ๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
@archeohistories My sister has the picture of my grandfather who was born into slavery in 1860. I was born in 1952; he died in 1945 so I never met him but my older siblings remember him. This goes to show that slavery was not that long ago.
Oyster shuckers in South Carolina, 1912 โ Josie (6), Bertha (6), and Sophie (10) starting work at 4 AM in the Maggioni Canning Co.โ
This photograph, taken in 1912, by
Lewis Hine; shows three young girls working in the Maggioni Canning Company along the South Carolina coast. Oyster canneries relied heavily on child labor, particularly in the winter months when oysters were harvested. Workers often began their shifts around 3 or 4 a.m., arriving before sunrise to start shucking while the catch was still fresh.
Josie, Bertha, and Sophie were among thousands of children employed in seafood-processing industry. Shucking oysters was difficult, dangerous work: the shells were sharp, the knives crude, and infections were common. Children stood for hours in unheated sheds, hands numb from cold brine, paid only a few cents per bucket shucked. Many families depended on every childโs income to survive, especially in impoverished coastal communities where steady work was scarce.
This photo was documented by Lewis Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), often posing as an insurance inspector to gain access to workplaces.ย His investigative work exposed the harsh realities of child labor in America. His powerful images stirred public outrage and were instrumental in advocating for and eventually achieving stricter child labor laws in the U.S.
By 1910, an estimated two million American children were working in mines, mills, factories, and canneries โ some starting as young as five years old. Hineโs photographs were a major reason federal child labor laws were finally passed.

@TravisANorwood@archeohistories My husband started working at 5 yo in North Carolina picking crops, from blueberries to tobacco. He was able to go to school because his parents knew that was the only way to a better life. At 72, those days still haunt him. The expression on these faces is heartbreakingโ๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
@AlBuffalo2nite@Victorshi2020 My gay son isnโt destroying the nuclear family but a whole lot of other things are; poverty, mental health unavailability, lack of housing, being poorly educated. I could go on. What you spew, 2nite, is racist homophobic ignorance thatโs been peddled forever. Letโs do betterโ๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
@DustyJohnson SD cares more about your friendship with Liz Chaney than they care about the Bill you voted for that will eliminate their health insurance,food assistance,make the rich much richer,and bloat the deficit,even if their state is below the poverty line. So I guess you lose Rustyโ๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
