Booker T. Washington - "Being an educator myself, in the time period I lived in, I am accustom to seeing much segregation in the world. I am accustom to seeing much discrimination, segregation, and more wrong-doing in school districts. I am thankful for all the great people who continue to push for teaching EACH and EVERY one of the students at the school the same. I have heard some great news, some great news that schools have become integrated! This is indeed, beneficial for society and a step closer in achieving equality for all people. It is poor to see that everyone who has worked so hard for this still have people to disagree with the decisions to be inclusive towards everyone. My message to everyone is keep education, keep working for your goals, and keep thriving with the ones around you to make a change! 4/5 stars for the people who made a change, one star less because of the work still needing to be done."

As an author during the Gilded Age, many of the books were about fitting society's norms. in the modern age, it seems that books are about accepting your for who you are rather than fitting into the big picture. I found it interesting how modern times had changed the philosophy f books.

⅕: The photojournal only highlighted people coming in that could steal and affect my job as a factory worker
Immigration- I do not appreciate immigrants coming into the US and stealing the jobs that were made for us. I work hard everyday, and I hope immigration laws change so we can stop people from other countries stealing our jobs!

Labor Unions- This photojournal highlights strikes being shut down and us workers being easily replaced, I think strikes are the only way for us to stand up and fight for what we need as laborers.

Urbanization- I think this is both god and bad. On the one hand, there are more people to buy the products we as factory workers are making, but on the other hand, These cities are filled with new immigrants that can again steal my job.

Race Relations- I work in a factory where if people of color are moving north for more jobs, they are just like the immigrants that could steal my job.

It is amazing how education has improved throughout history along with the increased literacy rate and the equality allowing women and girls to go to school. As well as teaching children to accept people for who they are and not discriminate based on anything as unrelated as race. Although, it is incredibly sad how immigrants and African Americans are still treated today, I am glad that these problems are being brought to the attention of society.

Jacob Riis - "After my time being a photographer, I would figure the content inside the frame would change. The content in peoples drawing and writings, I know they're biased, but these things need to change. I am proud as a former "immigrant" to be able to say that people are still so courageous and willing to do what it takes to get to better living conditions. I dislike the fact that the very man we are supposed to call the "President" of this country, fails to recognize the issues of the past and deny these people the right to come over here. 4/5 stars for the people taking a chance on their lives to live better, one star less because of the work still needing to be done."

Very good, I especially like how my quote was used in here. Good to know that labor unions are still around because my life was centered around it. But at the same time, it is disappointing that labor unions are still around and issues regarding workers and employers are still prominent.

Excellent coverage of the struggle of labor unions, immigration, and education. Maybe if socialists had gained more power, these struggles would not have persisted for decades...

I'm happy to see that my kids will finally be educated and our little towns have grown so much. I'm worried about the poverty... still a big problem

Immigration - I appreciate all that the immigrant workers do for my large company, but this image does not accurately represent what I stand for. I worked hard for this company, and I do not like how they are belittling my accomplishments. I give so much back into the community, and I want this photojournal to show that.

Labor Unions - I treat my workers fairly, labor unions are not necessary. I am not the bad guy here.

Education - I think education is very important, in fact I helped fund a library. One of my philosophies is promoting good education. As to the issue of segregation I think everyone should receive a proper education.

Urbanization - Finally some recognition, I do help provide many jobs for many different people. And as the cities grow there is more demand for my steel products, so I say urbanization is a good thing, and I am contributing to it through jobs, and other charity work I do.

Race Relations - I do believe that I am a good fair person to the black people. With the amount of money I put into the community it is bound to help them, but I find this uncomfortable.

Rating - I give this 2 stars solely for the promotion of education, and displaying the spread of urbanization. The rest is not to my liking.

Oh please, not ALL immigrants are from EUROPE. Us Chinese carried the transcontinental railroad building and were the only reason why the nation’s industrial economy was stable. Without us, America would be dead. 2/5 stars

thanks for showing that people use voter intimidation. people accused me of committing voter fraud because I am poor! that is because of awful factory conditions and wages. The situation i was in was horrible but I like that you exposed those accusations as voter intimidation. 4/5 stars

I am a Immigrant railroad worker, and it's hard to see that people are pushing us away when we built thing that help your country become the country it is today, we were discriminated against back then and to see that many people still are still treating us poorly in the new times is very hard to take in. 0/5 stars

Populist Party Leader:
"I found the system of government used and the way people would exploit it to deny people rights sickening. This is what's wrong with out country! Capitalism will be the death of us all, I must urge the use of cooperation!" 1/5 stars

It’s awesome how there are still women’s rights movements in the modern day and you folks can use those phones to spread your voices. 5/5 stars

Immigration - unsure about your representation that immigrants did the hard work, if they were working hard they would’ve been able to make a life for themselves like Riis did, however, sympathetic to their living situations

Labor unions - great to see that workers are starting to have more power over their futures to manifest their own destinies and get better pay so they can give out of those horrible tenements

Education - Riis would’ve been happy at the progres of our educational system as it has become more inclusive and comprehensive

Urbanization - again, happy to see how urban areas have progressed and that there is less poverty, however unhappy with the overall cleanliness that has lacked persistently since his time

Race Relations - overall unhappy because race relations continue to be an issue

I liked that the unions seem to have made progress, it's good to see that all the work done to make them and keep them was worth it. Not only are they still intact but they also have made progress in closing wage gaps and adjusting harsh hours!

Maybe if they worked enough they could get of the streets…. We need to clean up our streets from crooks, I can help some of y’all get jobs if you vote for me and even clean up your streets.

Immigration #1: I love these immigrants. They work hard and support my ambitions and know right from wrong.

Race Relations #1: Some of these immigrants are good people, some of them aren’t…

Education #1: What do y’all need education for? Just trust me.

Arts & Lit #1: If you work hard maybe you’ll end up like me? Just kidding, I’m too awesome.

Thank you for bringing attention to the women's suffrage movement. It is unfortunate that there is still the need for activists like me, but I am glad people are fighting for their rights. I find it upsetting that not much has changed and equal rights aren't for all. Did you learn nothing from me? 3/5 stars

I am Jacob Riis, while I am not pleased with how things haven't changed after all of these years, I really like that you used photos that show how things actually are not just the good part. 3/5 stars

As a freed slave, I was shocked to learn that even after all these years, my people are still marginalized in this way. That said, the pictures conveyed a clear message 5/5.

Susan B. Anthony - "I love how women are still persistent in their efforts to make change and find equal opportunities in a world where men are so beloved and greedy. I find it ridiculous how issues for women's right's are still happening so many years later!
4/5 stars for the women still hard at work, one star less because of the work still needing to be done."

I really enjoyed your discussion on labor unions, because my current working conditions are poor, I have low wages and long hours. I can barely provide for my family and my health is always at risk in the workplace. It sucks that strikes can’t always work out the way we want them too, but who knows, maybe it’ll work out someday. 4/5 stars

I found it very upsetting that things seem to be unchanged; Our conditions in my time were rough but they don't seem to have gotten much better in the future based on these photos alone. 1/5 stars.

it seems that it depicts factory workers and the rich upper class in one of the slides. I like that because it shines light on the difficulties that we factory workers must go through. Took of some stars off because there was no audio for explaining the photos.

we built your railroads and you still want to keep us out? You show the hardships of living in a city yet you still let us immigrants live in those conditions? 1/5 stars- you know we are looking for refuge and you aren't trying to make it easier

I am a Samuel Gompers and it is hard to see that in the new day people are still fighting for the very things i was fighting for in the gilded age. 1/5 stars

I like the use of political cartoons to convey the corruption that was present during the Gilded Age regarding the treatment of immigrants. As seen in the cartoon, immigrants were the backbone of American industry, often taking jobs that others did not want to do and doing them for extremely low wages and in horrible working conditions. I like how the cartoon showed this corruption and the greediness of the white men in power who received the benefits of the hard work done by the immigrants. It is sad to see that in modern times immigrants are still discriminated against and seen as inferior. The modern political cartoon is a great depiction of how immigrants are still unjustly discriminated against and seen as criminals rather than people seeking opportunities and asylum.
