Taken on an unknown street corner in early 20th century New York City, this photograph showcases a scene filled with tension and conflicting emotions. The men stand together, their expressions ranging from defiance to uncertainty, as they fulfill their role as strikebreakers under police protection. The presence of NYPD officers in the background serves as a reminder of how authorities played a crucial role in maintaining order during these strikes.
