Open UP! It’s Florence Kelley! Factory Inspector!

Florence Kelley Live from 1890s Chicago: My stockings had holes. I didn’t have the time or will to darn them. To busy rushing to bang on the door of the next illegal sweatshop. Open UP. It’s Florence Kelley. Factory Inspector. And her pals. You know they didn’t want to open that door.

April 24, 1894—Anton Horky, 665 Alport Street
