June rebellion
WHY DID IT HAPPEN?

French Revolution sucked


Everyone was poor and angry
Nobody liked kings
Lamarque is dead

This is
General
Lamarque.
He died and
then
everything
went to heck.

June rebellion
WHAT WENT DOWN

The funeral was casually hijacked


Flags were waved, shots were fired
Barricades built in Paris
Did not spread far
Failed completely
800 casualties

June rebellion

death of
Lamarque (1832)

Students rise up
and die in 48
hours (June 7,
1832)


This barricade is made neither of paving stones, nor of
timbers, nor of iron; it is made of two mounds, a mound
of ideas and a mound of sorrows. Here misery encounters
the ideal. Here the day embraces the night, and says: I
will die with you and you will be born again with me.
-Victor Hugo, Les Misrables

2.
The Newsboy Strike of 1899
Maddie McCobb is a trashcan

Strike! Strike! Strike!


a U.S. youth-led campaign to force change in the way
that Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst's
newspapers compensated their child labor force of
newspaper hawkers.

Several rallies drew more than


5,000 newsboys, complete with
charismatic speeches by strike
leader Kid Blink.

Watch What Happens

In 1898 the SpanishAmerican War increased


newspaper sales.

Publishers raised the cost from 50 to 60

After the war, many papers reduced the cost not


The Evening World and the New York Evening
Journal.

The world will know

On July 21, 1899, a large number of New York City


newsboys refused to distribute the papers of Joseph Pulitzer
and Hearst.
The strikers demonstrated across the Brooklyn Bridge for
several days,
bringing traffic and news distribution for most New
England cities to a standstill
Pulitzer tried to hire older men to do the boys' job, but
the men understood their stance and wanted no part in
defying the boys.

The Bottom Line


Although the World and the Journal did not
lower their 60-a-bundle price, they did agree
to buy back all unsold papers and the union
disbanded, ending the strike on August 2, 1899.

Once and For All

The newsboys' strike of 1899 has been credited


with inspiring later strikes, including the Butte,
Montana, Newsboys Strike of 1914, and a 1920s
strike in Louisville, Kentucky.
Some decades later, the introduction of urban
child-welfare practices led to improvements in
the newsboys' quality of life.

Never Planned on Someone Like You

The newsboys were fictionalized in 1942 by DC


Comics as the Newsboy Legion
The events of the 1899 strike later inspired a 1992
Disney film Newsies
included a character named Kid Blink, but in
this version the leader of the strike was
named Jack Kelly.
A musical theatre adaptation of the film, also
called Newsies, debuted in 2011 and played on
Broadway from 2012 to 2014 and on tour from
2014-2016.

Sexual assault movements On


college Campuses
(2014-)
With Maddy B Raps


In addition to shaming sexual-assault victims,
positioning abstinence as women's domain further

promotes the notion that it's women's morality


that's on the line when it comes to sex, men just can't help
themselves, so their ethics are safe

from criticism.

Columbia mattress campaign


EMMA SULKOWICZ

Raped by a classmate on her mattress her freshman year at Columbia


Senior Thesis: Mattress Performance, or Carry That Weight

Told administrators 7 months after incident; confused on how rape


could happen

She will drag her mattress everywhere she goes until the school expels her
rapist or he leaves

They made her draw a diagram, making her sick

Two other women were assaulted by the same student, and cases were
also mishandled; poor record-keeping
Attacker not found responsible in 2013, and remained at school

Columbia mattress campaign


EMMA SULKOWICZ

Carried mattress to Graduation on May 19, 2015

Claimed mattress was in the way

They must participate in discussions and workshops; reflect anonymously


on two topical TED Talks; create art about the issue.

University President, Lee Bollinger, turned away before shaking their


hands
Ivy Leagues and NYU as of 2015 require students to take a sexual
respect course in order to register/graduate, and can withhold degree
until taken

"To me, the piece has very much represented [the fact that] a guy did
a horrible thing to me and I tried to make something beautiful out of
it."
