Labour Media Missouri Named News Paper Poverty Washington Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the determination and resilience of young Gurley, an eight-year-old newsie selling newspapers at the bustling intersection of 18th and Washington Streets in St. Louis, Missouri, in May 1910. Amid the hustle and bustle of urban America, Gurley represents the countless children who labored to support their families during a time of great economic hardship. Dressed in tattered clothes and holding a stack of newspapers, Gurley's expression conveys a sense of focus and determination as he calls out to potential customers. The image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of poverty and child labor in the United States during the early 20th century. Despite the challenging circumstances, Gurley's spirit shines through, reminding us of the indomitable human spirit and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
