tells the story of children who stood up for their rights against powerful company owners, from a “turn-out” in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1836 led by eleven-year-old Harriet Hanson to the dramatic strike of 1912 in Lawrence, Massachusetts. But after years and years of working long hours every day under harsh and inhumane conditions, children began to organize and make demands in order to protect themselves.
