letter to the strikers

Dear People of the Newsboy Union,

It’s been 120 years. One. Hundred. And. Twenty. And we’re still thinking of you. Must mean you are kinda important. 

You are.

I first learned of you and your strike when I watched the filmed Broadway musical about you all and the movie that it was based on, Newsies. That’s right. Not only were you in the papes, you were in the pictures. A show based on what you did was performed on Broadway, in Midtown Manhattan. You’ve been written about in books, like Kids On Strike!. You’re famous! You’re the Kings of New York!

Your story has entertained and provided joy to thousands if not millions, but more importantly, it has 

Inspired.

What you’ve done not only inspired other kids in the city of New York to stand up to bosses, but may have also inspired other newsboy strikes in other places, like Montana and Louisville. And you have also undoubtedly inspired many, many, others to do big things, some that changed the nation, some that were just personal goals that we may never know about

See, you were kids. And as kids in this country, we don’t always get listened to and our opinions don’t always get counted, but you decided that your opinion was going to matter, that you were going to shout it until those at the top started listening. Kids in this country are doing that to day, for racial equality, for gender equality, for gun control, for climate change, for healthcare, for LGBTQIA+ rights, for human rights, and many other things. And we do this, chanting loudly, waving colorful signs, holding those in power accountable, knowing that you are watching over us cheering us on and supporting us to do the right thing. That means a lot. Because as a kid we are taught to look up to famous, rich, powerful, people, who are mostly white straight males, and we are not all those things. So it means.....so much more than I could put into words to have kids, kids like us, who got annoyed with our sibblings, who didn’t always like what they ate for dinner, who didn’t always get a place at the table, kids like us to look up to. Kids like us who changed history. 

So I think we all owe you a big 

Thank You

for everything you did. We really need your inspiring stories right now, because I don’t know if you have been paying quite as much attention since you don’t see a newspaper everyday anymore, but the world, and this country is kind of in a uh, we’ll say rough spot. So now, as kids, as adults, as the people, we have your own leader’s words to guide us through the fog. 

“Dis is de time when we'se got to stick together like glue.... We know wot we wants and we'll git it even if we is blind.“ -Kid Blink, 1899 

So from one side of the glue to another, 

Thank you for your hard work, your bravery, and your story. 

Yours Truly, 

                    Us.

-Mother died in childbirth

-His father couldn't afford to raise a third child without his wife's income and had to give Albert up

-Moved around foster and group homes until he was adopted at 15

-Was bullied A LOT as a kid

-His hair, his hearing loss, the fact that he didn't have parents, the fact that he couldn't seem to keep a home for more than a year, etc etc etc. In school, in the homes...

-Got in a lot of fights, got suspended and punished a lot

-Anger and trust issues

-Pretty chill most of the time but can be explosive when something upsets him

-He was constantly ready to burst as a kid, always only a few steps from punching a kid in the nose if they pissed him off

-Recognizes and hates this about himself

-He'll blow up on someone but find himself regretting it as soon as he cools down

-Race and his parents are the only people who can effectively bring him down when he goes off

-Ms. Medda, Jack, and Crutchie can but it takes much longer

-Was considered a "problem child"

-Labeled as an "Angry kid" "Hard to work with" "Rude" "Difficult" "Behavioral issues"

-Finally got adopted by a nice older couple in Manhattan when he was 15

-They were cautioned strongly against it by anyone who worked with him

-"Albert DaSilva comes with too many issues" "He'll be too much work" "You don't want him"

-This only reinforced their feelings that this boy needed a real home

-It was rocky for the first year

-They were great parents for him, she was a retired special-ed teacher and fluent in ASL, and he was conversational and working to get better.

-Both wanted what was best for him and were just all around lovely people.

-He felt terrible about it not feeling right but didn't try very hard to stop making it worse

-He was very closed off, snappish, and just made a point of being miserable from the day he moved in with them

-Locked himself in his room most of the time as soon as he got home from school and right after meals

-Snuck out most nights

-Untill one night, when they'd noticed he was doing particularly badly and went to check on him, only to find him gone

-They were worried and went looking for him, only to find him in the park, curled up in a ball, sobbing in Race's arms

-They took their cue from Race's pleading eyes and let them be

-Things started changing after that

-Considers Race his brother and by extension, Jack and Crutchie as well

-Ms. Medda is like a mother to him

-Understands a good amount of Italian

-He's one of the only people Race really speaks it around

-He took some courses on it so that Race could use it more often

-Movie buff

-Likes to analyze how the movie was made

-Very athletic

-Runner and swimmer

-Plays hockey and Baseball

-Talks to Davey about hockey a lot

-Actually pretty good friends with Davey

-Wears a hat almost 24/7

-Self conscious about his hair

-Self conscious about a lot actually

-Fifteen years of being sent back by foster families and watching other kids get adopted instead of him gave him some issues with his self-esteem

-Only really reads non-fiction

-Makes this known

-Very big fan of biographies

-People interest him

-Read Harry Potter in high school because the school librarian suggested it

-He had been going through a rough patch and she thought it might help

-She was the only authority figure at the time (Excluding Medda) that seemed to care about him and he trusted her judgement

-He won't admit to how much he loved it

-He feels a connection to the twins

-It helped him a lot and he pulls it out when he gets really stressed

-Has a framed poster that says "Hogwarts is my safe space" that Race had made for him when he was first adopted

-Only Race, Davey, and his parents know how much he loves the series

-He and Davey nerd out about it sometimes when no one else is around

-He convinced Race to listen to it (Race likes audio books because the words don't get all mixed up)

-So so Ace

-Biromantic

-Had a lot of trouble coming out to his adoptive parents.

-He thought they would somehow change their minds and send him back to the home

-They were actually really accepting.

-They didn't fully understand but they cared a lot about him and wanted him to be happy.

-Was born with moderately severe hearing loss

-Wears hearing aids most of the time but didn't get them until after he was adopted

-They help a lot since the loss is only partial

-Takes out his aids when he's mad at people so that he can ignore them more easily

-Takes them out when he's getting mad because it helps to quiet things down

-Cried when Race shakily told him about how he and his brothers had taught themselves ASL for him when they were about 12

-Insanely protective of his friends and family

-Especially Race

-It's not always a good thing with his temper

-Has been suspended for beating a guy up who was picking on his best friend

-Would both die and kill for Racetrack Higgins

-Finger guns

-Has a skateboard that he rides everywhere

-He's actually pretty good

-Does tricks and stuff

-Has no idea how to use a chair

-He'll sit on top of tables, lay upsidedown over the back of chairs, lay on the floor, etc etc

-But try to get him to sit ON the chair, right side up, feet on the ground, like a normal human?

-Not a chance

-Albert really likes Redbull

-Like, Elle Woods level Redbull intake

-It's concerning

Historically accurate Sarah Jacobs 

Because I am working on another historical sewing project, I can’t have my dream of a historically accurate Sarah Jacobs cosplay yet! So, for now, we get this moodboard. 

Happy Strike day (weekend?) all, and remember the women and girls who toiled under unfair working conditions the same as our boys did. Remember the women who stuck up for themselves and others.  

Remember the Sarah Jacobs of the world!
