We continued our study of labor in the 20th Century by focusing on the history of the minimum wage in the United States.
We considered the tension between individual freedom and societal good inherent in the conflict over minimum wage.
Then Mr. Zartler introduced the "Progressive Era" roughly the years 1901 to 1920.
We then began view the documentary The Progressive Era Presidents. We discussed how this documentary takes a "rich, white man" view of history.
