#newsboys strike of 1899

[extra-sketch]

The Newsies (happy 125th anniversary to the end of the Newsboys' Strike of 1899)

Y’ALL HEAR ME OUT

What if Newsies like had a series? Like it’s one of those series where you don’t gotta start on season one because each season tells a different story? Like there will be around like 10-15 seasons. Like each year, they would pick some fans head cannons so they become cannon? And it would be about a newsies life, like it starts from them becoming a newsie to what will happen after the strike. For example, a popular one is that the woman in Carrying The Banner is Spot’s mother, LIKE what happened between them?! LIKE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

Underrated lines from Newsies Live

“All right, take it easy. It’s a bunch’a trees.” -Jack (After Medda talks about Jacks artistry)

“Miss Medda, you’re on!” “I am? How am I doin’? Aha! Ugh. *turns to Jack/Davey* Aha!” -Medda

“-And I never lied… I didn’t tell you everything.” -Katherine

“-Well I’ll call you sweetheart if you spot me 50 papes, huh?” “Drop the cash, and move it along!” “Oh, well whatever happened to romance?” -Race (that entire scene is probably one of my favourites)

“Hey Jack, you still thinkin’?” “Sure he is. Can’t you smell smoke?” -Les and Race

“You have a very interesting face. Ever think about gettin’ into moving pictures?” “You really think I could?” “Sure, buy a ticket, they let anyone in!” -Albert

And many more but i cant remember them 😢

Today a pic with a little less going on :) Have a Kid Blink re-draw of a scene in the movie! Isn't he great, our actual leader of the strike in real 1899? Yes he is Love to draw his hair btw, it looks so cool

Once and For All makes me really emotional for some reason.

Like imagine being newsies who feel like their rights aren't being validated. They're not being heard and they're fighting back, sure there are ups and downs but look at them! They know they're at the finale of the war they're in and the things they went through to get there makes it memorable.

Its not just newsies that can do this, it also reminds me that anyone can do this. Not just adults but us minors too. JUST BECAUSE WE'RE YOUNGER THAN THEM DOESNT MEAN WE DONT HAVE RIGHTS!! IT DOESNT MEAN WE CANNOT BE HEARD!! IT DOESNT MEAN THAT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STATE OUR OPINIONS!! THEY DONT WANT TO HEAR US?? THEN WE'LL MAKE THEM.

And because of that? We could change the future. We CAN do it, it's scary at first yeah but history also proves that we can do it.

Newsies has opened up a new world for me, and for others too. Newsies had helped me tried out new things, it had also helped me gain confidence.

Without Newsies, this blog wouldn't had been created. Without Newsies, I wouldn't had tried out theatre. Without Newsies a lot of us might not have been here.

Not art but! I’m an anthropology major and I took a social organization class and I got the privilege of doing not one, but TWO projects on the newsboys of New York.

So without further ado, here’s Historical Newsboys Nonsense as Newsies Characters:

I definitely have more I could make, including some quotes from the real like Racetrack and Spot Colons. I have too much knowledge regarding the strike and lodging houses rattling around in my head.

[ya-what--ya-erster]

the strike was won today!!!!!!

I’m a nerd so I felt the need to post about it even tho y’all already know

I have a weird sense of joy over this

Newsies is one of my favorite musicals/movies. And im trying to get my friend to watch it. I tried to lure her in with the idea of gay ships, but it didn't work.

Any tips?

I personally guilt-tripped my friends into watching it.

I have been working since I was 12 years old and had a lot of bosses who cheated me out of my pay because I was young, and they knew they could. So, watching Newsies gave me a feeling of power for the first time in my life.

Those kids never thought they'd be remembered. It's a simple and heartbreaking fact: those children were told from the moment they were born that their lives meant nothing outside of survivle.

And then they went and they did something big. Something huge. Something that changed the course of history and led to incredible stuff. Yes, there is still a lot of exploration of child workers today, but there is significantly less of it.

What we have today we owe to them. To those children who never thought they'd be remembered. If we have the opportunity to learn about them, even just a little bit, I feel like we owe it to them.

Anyway that's what I told my friends but you can also say the choreography is absolutely fire (because it is)

“Newsies of New York City.. WE WON!!!”

125 years ago today, the newsboys of New York won their strike against Joesph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. These kids changed the lives for the generations to come, and were more inspirational than they could’ve dreamed of. And their story made a damn good musical!

“WE BEAT ‘EM!!!”

[watchingwhathappens]

@ivys-head-is-spinning WHATS again!!!!???

[beansschool]

Nothing like feeling pumped to join the Newsboys strike of 1899 only to find out that you were born in the wrong continent 100 years too late (and you don't sell newspapers)
