Child labor was a very big and abusive movement in the United States. In 1886, 7 and 8 year old boys were working jobs such as sitting coal in dark mines. It took them 7 years for them to get their freedom.  With the help of Jacob Riis, who took pictures of the poor& horrible situations, the government was able to take part in this.

Children Civil Rights Movement

Can you imagine working 60 hours in one week, without any breaks being just a young child? Well this is what children went through during the 1870’s through 1938.  These were the years that the children’s civil rights movement was being pursued. Children went through very dangerous working conditions and sometimes they would loose different parts of their body because of these conditions and the machines that they have to work with. Mother Jones, a participant and vital person in this movement helped children’s voices to be heard. The children’s rights movement was a success because of the people that helped and the long and hard times of the children in the past.

Have you ever had to work in a factory at the age of 14 years old? However from the years of 1870’s thought 1938 witch I think does not give children the proper time they need to be a kid had to deal with this. Many factory owners try to find ways around the law by forcing children’s working papers. Children work in dangerous situations at their jobs such as cold mines under very unhealthy conditions. However Jacob Radii’s wants the government to see the terrible conditions in immigrant neighborhoods by taking pictures. To stop children from being seen working in these horrible conditions factory owners train children to hide when it is time for an inspection.

         Have you ever worked at the age of 6? Go back in time to 1870 and ask one of those children, the answer would most probably say yes. The reason for that was America’s industrialization, which was when America started to build many factorys and used farms less. Because there were so many factories the factory owners needed many workers. They saw that if they hired children they would not have to pay them a lot and can make them work in any condition like sifting coal or working large machines. People who helped eliminate this were congress, Jacob Riis, Theodore Roosevelt, Mother Jones, and president Hoover. After many attempts to convince the supreme court to ban child labor in 1938 the supreme court finally passed the fair labor standards act. This act prevented children to work full time jobs unless farming.

     Before the 1800’s, many children worked on their parents’ farms. As factories developed, working children mined for coal, worked in mills and sold newspaper on the street. Factory owners liked hiring children because it was cheaper than hiring adults. Not all children worked, but those who did were paid less than adults. These children had dangerous jobs. Many worked 60 hours over six days a week. When children were injured, factory owners simply replaced them. Child laborers fought for their rights. They wrote the President and shamed the government into passing laws protecting children. But these laws were hard to enforce. The civil movement lasted 1870s-1938. Hoover, Roosevelt, Mother Jones and Luis Hines were some of the participants.

    Children Civil Rights Movement is when children was forced to work at unhealthy/unsafe jobs. The problem that was faced was that people gave seven or eight year olds dangerous jobs like coal mines under very unhealthy/unsafe conditions. Factory workers are finding ways around the law forging children’s working papers. They also give children newsies jobs where children sell newspaper in the street.

    Camella Teoli was working in the Lawrence Mill(Massachusetts) and her hair got caught in one of the factories machines. Her scalp and hair was pulled causing her to spend seven months in a hospital.

What if you were a child in the 1870’s and you had to work hours of the day? What if one day you were followed from school by some rich factor owners you persuaded your parents to send you to work? Well these amazing children went through this. It took almost 70 years to gain their civil rights during that time blacks were still fighting for they’re on rights.

           There was also political injustice in America for children because in New York State there were only 2 inspectors to examine factories in all of New York. But even when inspectors did come children were trained to hide so inspectors wouldn’t see what such bad shape they were in. One primary source that you can look at is the injury of Camella Teoli. She was 12 years old working at a mill in Lawrence , Massachusetts and she got her hair and scalp pulled by a mill, and ended up going to the hospital for 7 months and her family was struggling without her wages. The owners of the mill didn’t care one bit about her and made things worse, they lowered workers wages a sped up the machines.
