But his writing also led to improvements, it led to better housing, plumbing, garbage collection, and lots more. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amurp05261/kci3tbc1kp79/wish/325435888 Woodrow Wilson (Amiyah) amurp05261 https://padlet.com/amurp05261/kci3tbc1kp79/wish/325438984 Woodrow Wilson served as president from 1913-1921. He was the 28th president of the United States. He was apart of the democratic party and he was very big on progressive reforms.

"They put him in a place where the snow could not beat in, where the cold could not eat through his bones; they brought him food and drink—why, in the name of heaven, if they must punish him, did they not put his family in jail and leave him outside—why could they find no better way to punish him than to leave three weak women and six helpless children to starve and freeze?"

From what I read a little of he attacked another person and was soon sent to jail. He did not only feel bad fro hisself he also felt bad for his family. He is the breadwinner for his family so without them they are helpless. He wishes they could be in his place so they can at least keep surviving with food. ]]> 2019-02-01 15:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amurp05261/kci3tbc1kp79/wish/326739435 Jacob Riis (Amiyah) amurp05261 https://padlet.com/amurp05261/kci3tbc1kp79/wish/326741638 "Be a little careful, please! The hall is dark and you might stumble over the children pitching pennies back there. Not that it would hurt them; kicks and cuffs are their daily diet. They have little else. Here where the hall turns and dives into utter darkness is a step, and another, another. A flight of stairs. You can feel your way, if you cannot see it. Close? Yes! What would you have? All the fresh air that ever enters these stairs comes from the hall-door that is forever slamming, and from the windows of dark bedrooms that in turn receive from the stairs their sole supply of the elements God meant to be free, but man deals out with such niggardly hand. That was a woman filling her pail by the hydrant you just bumped against. The sinks are in the hallway, that all the tenants may have access--and all be poisoned alike by their summer stenches. Hear the pump squeak! It is the lullaby of tenement-house babes.]]> 2019-02-01 15:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amurp05261/kci3tbc1kp79/wish/326741638
