I nominate Ida wells because In the 1890s, Wells documented lynching through her indictment called "Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in all its Phases," investigating frequent claims of whites that lynchings were reserved for black criminals only. she also exposed lynching as a barbaric practice of whites in the South used to intimidate and oppress African Americans who created economic and political competition and a subsequent threat of loss of power for whites. she also survived a white mob destroyed her newspaper office and presses as her investigative reporting was carried nationally in black-owned newspapers.

I would nominate Upton Sinclair because exposed the meat packing industry and showed the people what it was really like and how peoples meat might not be sanitary. His exposures would also lead to workers having more sanitary working conditions keeping them healthy. His exposures would also lead to healthier and cleaner products.

I nominate Jacob Riis because he took the time and effort to better his society.
His contributions rose awareness concerning the heinous conditions certain individuals were dwelling in. If it weren't for him, so many people would've went through unessessary harm because of their so called "homes".

I believe that Thomas Nast is the best Muckraker. This is because through his cartoons, people are allowed to think of what they want to think. This allows them to not be forced into a decision.

I nominate Thomas Nast because his cartoons can be interpreted by many ages through his drawings, his work was able to take down one of the biggest businessmen through a cartoon that even a child could interpret, and the cartoons he made was able to bring across a message that even illiterate men or women could understand.

 Emily Reda                                  I nominate Ida Tarbell because she worked toward what she believed in and didn't give up. She strived to show the unfair working conditions of the standard oil company, which later on the U.S. Supreme Court decides to break its monopoly.

Ida tarbell can easily be seen as one of the most influential muckrakers. It was Tarbells extreme dedication and motivation to adressing the topic of injustices of the oil company that would prove her one of the most hard working muckrakers of all time. Ida spent countless years researching and interviewing to get to the bottom of a very serious topic. Ida published 19 different articals adressing the injustices in the oil companys. Her hard work helped spread much awareness to the topic and without her change may have not came. She also helped spark campiegns and other events to raise awareness.

I nominate Jacob Riis because of how he showed the way the other half lives. With the use of photography he captured the way the lower class lived and suffered while the upper half lived prosperously. Thanks to him a lot of attention was brought to the problem. He wanted to show other that this was something that needed to be changed

I nominate Jacob Riis because based off his book he really showed how the other half lives. He captured the way the poor really lived and gave some thought to Americans on how they should better the economy for these people. He was trying to address the living and working conditions of the poor. The way they lived made other Americans feel sorrow.

Thomas Nast is someone I nominate into the Muckrakers Hall of Fame. Nast thought of a new way to share what's going on during that era without writing paragraphs. This innovation allowed those that can't read to understand what's going on in the news. He was exploited monopolies and certain political officials. His ideas of political cartoons also contributed to more artists following his path and way of sharing news.

I nominate Upton Sinclair because he showed the people what the meat packing industry was hiding from everyone. It was so cruel and nobody knew what it was hiding. His novel The Jungle helped improve working conditions in the meat-packing industry.
