  • riis staged many of his pictures. he sought to assimilate immigrants to WASP ideals and culture, because they're way of life (religion, culture, customs) threatened what he perceived to be American traditional values. not to condone the fact that lower class citizens lived in horrifying conditions, but Riis's goal was to change their way of life, NOT necessarily their living conditions. in fact, most muckrakers only sought to assimilate and control to the standards of WASPs

  • Thank you. I have assigned this video to my Grade 8 History students.

  • Nicely done.

  • I thought "a rock song for 1890s photos?" But the words are perfect and express the hopelessness these people must have felt. Jacob would have loved this.

  • What about the houses he burned down unintentionally? omg

  • It's uhhh....Godsmack fool....

  • Should've used a Layne Staley song not someone with a fake imitation, but great vid

  • AWESOME!

    Jacob Riis...best muckraker ever!

    good vid!
