The Real Price of Food
eating dinner, we don't think about where are food comes from and how it got on our plate.
Before the Pure Food and Drug Act, the working conditions in factories were very unsafe and bad. People got hurt and some died because the machines were not safe. A lot of people got sick because the factories were so unclean and they didn't check the meat/animals for diseases.
Dear Future Citizens...
I'm Alice Paul and I am writing to all the future women and citizens. To tell you about myself, I was part of the NAWSA. I was trying to get a constitutional amendment giving the women the right to vote. By doing this, some of my actions were taken as illegal by the courts, and I got sent to jail several times for disorderly conduct and disturbing traffic. My third time being sent to jail, I went on a hunger strike. I was force fed three times a day, for three weeks. The conditions were very harsh. The jail had dreadful facilities, infested food, poor sanitation, etc. But it was all worth it because I wanted the right to vote and I wasn't giving up.
To all the citizens who want something changed, fight for my change, I protested and got people with the same beliefs together. We all have to fight for what we want changed together. You have to be willing to give up things. I gave up eating and I starved myself. Don't be afraid to go against people who have higher say in things than you do. I went against the president. Have courage in what you want, I got punished and tortured but I was fine with that because I really wanted it, and lastly, never give up. If its that important to you, try your hardest and make a change.
Remember, "There will never be a new world order until women are part of it."
Sincerely,
Alice Paul

A Tragic Explosion!
No one yet has established exactly what caused the explosion or who was responsible. Americans blame Spain for the outrage. The relationship between Spain and the United States became so strained, they can no longer discuss the situation. Earlier we had an interview with one of the survivors, and here is our interview:
Shelby- James, how unexpected was the explosion?
James- It was out of no where, I was getting a cup of tea and then boom!!!!
Shelby- What were the conditions like?
James- Well it was very hot, and you couldn't see a thing. It was so dusty, I had to keep my eyes closed.
Shelby- How did you feel?
James- Well my ears were ringing, I was pouring down sweat, my body hurt because there was so much tensity that my body flew in the air.
Shelby- Well I am glad you are okay, and I hope you recover well.
James: Thank you
We are saving you, you save food.

In 1951, the city memorialized his home run by installing a North Carolina Historic State Marker on Gillespie Street.
