Affairs Badge Belong Capitol Comparison Governmental Grounds Laws Matters Names Sells Shadow Made News Boys

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of young newsboys huddle together in the shadow of the National Capitol building in Washington, D.C., where laws are made. Their youthful faces, etched with determination and focus, belie the gravity of their surroundings. Among them, an 8-year-old boy, Tony Passaro, holds a badge that does not belong to him. His fellow newsies, Joseph Passaro (11 yrs.), Joseph Mase (9 yrs.), Joseph Tucci (10 yrs.), and Jack Giovanazzi (12 yrs.), all eagerly sell their wares on the Capitol grounds every day. The comparison between the weighty matters of governmental affairs and the small, yet significant world of these newsboys is a poignant reminder of the complexities of life. The boys, aged between 8 and 12 years, are a stark contrast to the grandeur of the Capitol building and the important decisions being made within its walls. Despite their young age, these newsboys are not to be underestimated. They are entrepreneurs, hustling to make a living and provide for their families. Their dedication to their craft is evident in their unwavering presence on the Capitol grounds, even in the face of adversity. The photograph, taken in 1912, captures a moment in time that highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of these young boys. Their names and addresses are listed, offering a glimpse into their personal lives and the communities they come from. The image is a testament to the spirit of determination and the importance of perseverance, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
