Historical Perspectives: Newsies - Podcasts for Kids
Step back in time and uncover the fascinating world of newsies! This episode dives into the history of newspapers and the young kids—some as young as nine—who sold them on bustling city streets in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Learn what a typical day looked like for these independent, hardworking newspaper sellers as they navigated cold mornings, crowded streets, and fierce competition.
We'll explore the tough realities of child labor during this era, from long hours to the risks of not selling enough papers. Discover the inspiring story of the 1899 Newsboys' Strike, a pivotal moment in workers' rights history when kids stood up against powerful newspaper companies and made their voices heard.
This pack can be used with the TPT resource.
