28 mayo 1890 año - "How the Other Half Lives"

Descripción:

"How the Other Half Lives" was an article written by Jacob Riis. The article talked about tenement life and how it is to really be living in the city. This article shocked millions as it exposed the horrible living conditions that became normal for these people. There were fire hazards, disease risk, small spaces and nothing close to a standard, stable living space. This is important because it opened the eyes to people who had no idea about the conditions people had to live in.
