These Family Profiles include important, real data on: Income & Job Descriptions; Selected Prices of the times; Annual Income; Annual Budget of Individuals; Family Finances; Family Budget; Life at Work; Life at Home; Life in the Community; Working Conditions; Cost of Living; Amusements; National Current events; Local News; and much more.

In addition to the detailed economic and social data for each family, each chapter is further enriched with historical snapshots, news profiles, articles from local media and illustrations derived from popular printed materials of the day, such as clippings from cereal boxes, campaign buttons, political cartoons, postcards, and posters. This rich economical and social compilation of facts, figures, and graphs will enhance a wide range of curriculums and meet multiple research needs. - Publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V. 7. "This second edition of Working Americans 1880-2016, Volume VII: Social Movements explores the various ways Americans felt called upon to challenge accepted convention, whether the issue was cigarette smoking in 1901 or fighting the construction of a massive hydroelectric dam in 1956. The study of grassroots American protest highlights topics championed by America's conservatives, liberals and the deeply concerned. Some acted out of gratitude, like the young man who supported the Orphan Train, or anger, such as the ex-soldier who conducted guerilla warfare demonstrations for Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Some wanted better labor conditions, less kissing in silent films, more attention to the environment, fewer prayers in schools, or the right to marry the person of their choice. Not all were successful, but they all took a stand."--Publisher's description.
