EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BOSTON: STRIKE, c1912" takes us back in time to a significant moment in Boston's history. The image captures the intensity and unity of conductors and their supporters during a strike that took place on the Boston Elevated Railway. In this snapshot, we see a young boy dressed as a conductor standing proudly among a crowd of people. They are gathered outside an unidentified location, possibly the railway station or depot. The boy's uniform signifies his involvement in the transportation industry at such an early age, highlighting how even children were affected by this labor dispute. The atmosphere is charged with determination as these individuals wave their hands vigorously, expressing their solidarity for the cause they believe in. Their unwavering commitment to fight for better working conditions and fair treatment is palpable through their united presence. Photographed around 1912 by Granger from NYC / The Granger Collection, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by workers during that era. It symbolizes not only their resilience but also showcases how collective action can bring about change. As we gaze upon this historical photograph today, it prompts us to reflect on our own society and appreciate the progress made since then. It reminds us of the importance of valuing workers' rights and standing up against injustice – lessons that remain relevant even after more than a century has passed.
