"Capturing the Struggles and Resilience of Paterson's Textile Reform Movements" Exploring the heart of Paterson, New Jersey, we witness the transformative power in the textile industry. Madison Silk Co stands as a testament to the once-thriving textile trade that shaped Paterson's history. Behind Summer St lies a rear tenement where former silk workers gather, their stories echoing with resilience and determination. In a quiet corner off Sealey St, we find an old silk-worker who can no longer contribute physically but remains an integral part of this community. The Passaic River flows gracefully beside the remnants of an old silk mill section - a reminder of both progress and struggle in Paterson's textiles. Step into the inner court off Sealey St to glimpse into the homes of hardworking silk workers, whose lives were intertwined with their craft. Deserted yet hauntingly beautiful, Lewis Hine captures March 1937's deserted silk mill on 21st Ave - a symbol of changing times and evolving labor practices. Against the backdrop of Passaic Falls and River in March 1937, we witness nature's majesty juxtaposed against human efforts for reform in Paterson's textiles. Lewis Hine provides us with a poignant view from March 1937 - mills standing tall alongside houses; evidence that these industries shaped entire communities' lives. From above Garrett Mt Park, take in a bird’s-eye-view capturing not just landscapes but also glimpses into countless lives impacted by Barnett Silk Mill.
