Mary Jones: A Children's Rights Activist

Mother Jones was a fearless Irish American activist, who aided with the coordination in strikes and cofounded the industrial workers of the world; a labour union combining general and industrial unionism. She was ruthless and her reputation and actions made her feared by many.

Rosa fought back against inequality and bullying when she was in her childhood. Then spent the years of her adolescence and adulthood fighting for African American lives and equality. After that, she used her time in the 70s through the 90s continuing fighting. Without using the rest of the information in the article, Theoharis gave more than enough information to come to an implication that supports her

Children from as young as the age of 6 began working in factories, the beginning of their exploitation, to meet demands of items and financial need for families. In Florence Kelley’s speech before the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia 1905, Kelley addresses the overwhelming problem of child labor in the United States. The imagery, appeal to logic, and the diction Kelley uses in her speech emphasizes the exploitation of children in the child labor crisis in twentieth century America.

According to Mother Jones, child labor was something so miserable and heart tearing. Mother Jones states, “Tiny babies of six years old with faces of sixty did an eight-hour shift for ten cents a day”. She witnessed all these poor children work every day and go home exhausted and drained. They had to work in horrible conditions, managers had no sympathy for the poor little children some would get hurt and others would die from illnesses. Jones states, “Often their hands were crushed. A finger was snapped off. They die of pneumonia, these little ones, - bronchitis and consumption.” These poor little kids were stripped from their childhood instead of playing they worked to help their family. According to Mother Jones the people responsible for

Child Labor was one of Florence Kelley’s main topics at a speech she gave in Philadelphia during a convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Kelley talks about all the horrors children were going through and the injustices they were suffering. She talks of the conditions children working in, the hours they were going in, and all in all, how wrong child labor was. Her purpose for this was to gain support of people to petition for the end of child labor. Kelley’s appeals to Ethos, Pathos and Logos through the use of great rhetoric is what allows her to achieve her purpose. The main devices being extraordinary diction, repetition, and sarcasm/irony.

Rosa Parks’s influence on the fight for equality was arguably the most impactful of all the leaders in the Civil Rights Movement. Rosa Parks first embarked on her Civil Rights journey by becoming involved with the NAACP. The author of the History website page on Rosa Parks claims, “in December 1943 Rosa also joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP, and she became chapter secretary” (Rosa Parks). Rosa started out as a follower, but became dedicated to the organization so she ran for a board position. About ten years later, the famous Rosa Parks story took place in Montgomery. The author of the Rosa Parks page emphasizes that, “By refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus in 1955, black seamstress Rosa Parks (1913—2005) helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States” (Rosa Parks). Simply put, Rosa inspired the rest of the African American communities around the United States to protest through boycotts whenever they had the chance to do so. Determined to get the bus segregation law overturned, Parks and her fellow NAACP

[Hook] Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment”. The Truman Show is related to the transcendental movement because there is a quest for self discovery, there are examples of letting others think for you and an example of social reform.

I am going to tell you about an enchanting story about a woman named Rosa Parks and her mongomery, bus boycott. Rosa Parks was born on February 4,1913 in Tuskegee Alabama U.S.A she died on October 24,2005 [age 92] in Detroit, Michigan U.S. before she got arrested for boycotting a montgomery bus Rosa Parks went to school like a normal child. She was raised up on her daddy's farm and raised as a normal girl but she did have to go to a different school then the white people in 1929 when she was in 11th grade she had to go out of school because her grandmother got sick and she had to help her.

A.Introduction:History of the United States has numerous remarkable ladies who have rolled out critical improvements in women’s life. Two of such ladies were Eleanor Roosevelt Margaret Sanger and they lived roughly in the meantime. They both contributed immensely to change the women’s lives, roles and position them equally with men. Eleanor Roosevelt was born in 1884 in New York. Despite the fact that she was born in a wealthy family, her adolescence was miserable. She lost both parents at an exceptionally youthful age. At the point when Eleanor was 15, she went to the Allenwood Academy in London. There, she was profoundly impacted by one women's activist feminist headmistress. She married Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1905. From the earliest starting

Mary Jones’ strikes were very effective because she had children from the mills and a marching band (Tonn 314). She got lots of attention from people with her speeches and protests (Ford 265). In the Encyclopedia of Women and American Politics, Ford says, “In 1903, she organized a march of more than 100 child mill workers to President Theodore Roosevelt’s residence in New York.” Also, she worked undercover in some mills to uncover abusive child labor (Ford 265). Mary Harris Jones put her life at risk to help these children in the mills.

Have you ever been caught in a natural disaster, losing your home, place to work, or even a friend or family member? Today there is the Red Cross and other organizations to help people survive these events, but what would you do without them? Clarissa “Clara” Barton is a hero because she founded the red cross in the U.S., helped and risked her life in the Civil War, and served as a symbol for women’s rights and support for the oppressed.

After the strike began, the national United Mine workers had full support. The first month of the strike had no violence at all. That did not last too long though. Mother Jones rallied the workers. She also made a secret march of 3,000 armed coal miners to march to the capital in Charleston to give a declaration. During month two of the strike the violence started to occur. On September first 5,000 miner from the north side of the Kanawha River joined the strike. On February 13 mother Jones

Mary Harris "Mother" Jones was a reformer who fought for the rights of workers, including child laborers. She helped everybody, even children to fight against child labor.

Passage 1 effectively develops the contribution Elizabeth Cady Stanton made to the women’s rights movement during the 1800s. Passage 2 is more of facts about her and Susan rather than how they contributed. They both tell a lot about how Elizabeth helped women’s rights. Also in passage 2 it talks about about Elizabeth had help from Susan B Anthony. So passage 1 defiantly was better at showing how Elizabeth contributed to women’s rights.
