Today we talked about minimum wages and segregation.7. What did progressives do to bring about better wages for workers?- 1824 New Zeeland started the first minimum wage.- 1914 hennery ford started the 5 dollar days and working a 10 hour day.- $1.75 a day before the5 dollar day.- Over the year July 24 of this year the Minimum pay was $5.15- $7.25 an hour.8. What is segregation? What did progressives do to help African Americans?- The separation of black and whites.- NAACP does work to try and improve the blacks’ way of living.- Teddy had Booker .t. Washington over for supper and he was head of some black organization.- Windrow Wilson brought segregation to Washington D.C.I think that $1.75 dollars an hour for working at least a 16 hour day is unfair. Even though I don’t work I think that changing the pay this year was a good idea. Segregation was a bad thing. It was still here this year. The last bus in Omaha was changed. It us to be where the blacks had to sit in the back. Now they can sit any were.
