I am one who wishes for change in the tenements. Will you stand for change with me? Do you truly understand what it is to live as an entire family in one room?

Times should cover the streets not the rich!

1 family / 1 room /not enough food or space to live#changethetenements

This is a call for larger homes for those who live in a single room!#expand

More magazines should focus on the importance of the wring class.#appreciate

I hope that when the next generation grows old they will come to realize even the immigrants are important.

@sigfreud1 While a cigar is just a cigar the people living in the tenements are not "just" people!#recognize

@RoberttPeary Stop running from Americas problems and face them to bring about change and prosperity!#getalife

If one man can rebuild a Model T then imagine what we can all build together for the people in the tenements! #workhardlivebetter

@emma_goldman0 Apperently concern for the tenements and peoples well being is a load of noise and a joke as well!

This Coalhouse character is interesting. I could make front page with pictures of him! #opportunities

My photos are not an editorial and have no opinion. They are the reality of the tenements! #change

@StantheWhite Searched Riis and found endless links to my work! People seem to agree that cleaning up tenements was a good idea!#abouttime
