Jacob riis was born in May 3, 1849 and died in May 26, 1914. He died when he was 65. Jacob was one of the 13 childeren only jacob and 2 of his siblings made into the 20th century. Out of the 13 childeren. Riis emigrated to America in 1870 when he was 21 years old seeking employment as a carpenter. Riis's first job was as a editor for the long island paper. Riis was really poor and he slept outside or he slept at the police station. Riis got a job at the new york tribune as the police reporter.
Riis wrote about slums and how they lived for a long time and was always wanting pictures to show the people how the slums actually lived. He wrote about the poor for about 20 years trying to get them help. Riis was the first person to use flash powder so he could take pictures at night. Or inside the slums homes. my opinon he was a very smart guy because he invented the flash and now we can take pictures at night and he also helped the slums by taking the pictures and showing everyone how they lived and people felt bad for them.

Glad you got this done Justin! With that said, it is brief and you did not capitalize words that should be.
