"Unfair: A Chronicle of Injustice and Struggle" In a world where fairness seems elusive, the stories of injustice unfold. Uncle Sam repels Chinese immigrants, casting shadows on the land of opportunities. Members of NUTGW tirelessly campaign for workers' rights, fighting against an unfair system that exploits their labor. Kerry Swain, a talented television presenter aged only 21, faces an unjust fate as she is abruptly sacked after just two weeks on air. The Anti-Corn Law campaign battles against economic policies that favor the wealthy while burdening the common man. Amidst this turmoil, Jonathan Thatcher rides a cow to Stockport Market in protest against societal norms and expectations. Granville Sharp's first encounter with Jonathan Strong marks a pivotal moment in history when abolitionists challenge the cruel institution of slavery. Oscar Slater's black and white photo from c. 1908 captures his face etched with despair as he becomes entangled in a web of false accusations and prejudice. A gentleman's dark green umbrella from the 1790s symbolizes both protection and privilege in a society divided by class. Notes at a Scotch School for Cookery engraving showcases how knowledge is often withheld or limited to certain classes, perpetuating inequality. Limerick Judging brings forth laughter but also highlights how judgments can be biased based on social standing. Dog Mania depicted in Le Bon Genre's colored engraving reveals society's obsession with frivolous trends while ignoring pressing issues like poverty or discrimination. Taxation on Capital litho questions how one can bear burdensome taxes imposed unfairly upon them. In this tapestry woven with threads of unfairness, we must strive for justice and equality - challenging prejudices that divide us and working towards creating a fairer world for all.
