Cigar Florida Labour Paid Read Reader Reads Receive Select Tampa Voice


EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling atmosphere of Tampa, Florida's cigar factories in 1909, a reader can be seen engrossed in his books and newspapers, his voice echoing through the vast space. This man, a paid reader for the workers, was the sole source of literacy and education for many laborers in this industry. With no access to formal schooling, the workers relied on the reader to provide them with news from the outside world and to expand their knowledge through literature. The reader's selection of materials was controlled by the factory management, making this meager education a privilege granted by the very system that denied them a proper education. The image captures a poignant moment in American labor history, highlighting the stark reality of the education system for cigar factory workers in Tampa, Florida during this era.
