@ifindthings_RP You may have some small medals but do you have seven memorials and two schools in your name? My work >>>>

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

Fun Fact: Tonight @TedRoosevelt0 and I just found 9 out of 10 police men missing in the place needed most... The Slums.

@TheRealJPMorgan Instead of diving into your ridiculous endeavors with The Pyramid you could spend some money wisely and fix the world

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

@SirThaw Thats because the system is corrupt and you managed to bring in ridiculous luxuries #weneedreform

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

@Houdini_Harry_ Would have been they're to photograph it and write about it but it lacks prevalence in this world

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

The larger the slum the worse the civilization we live in.

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

They're way 2 many photographers at the Superbowl. Why photograph a football game when you can take pictures of things that need attention?

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

If everyone actually new what the tenements were like, change would happen immediately #filth #death #poverty

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

If the wealthiest people in New York City help the poorest people out, even in the most little way, this city would be so much better

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

@franzTHEduke Absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

I just found five families all living together in one room. It was twenty of them sharing two bed. Ridiculous...

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

Found these poor little fellows. I was told that these kids have been here for days. #theslums

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]

Just published an even better book. #howtheotherhalflives #getatme

[Jacob Riis @JacobRiss1]
