How the Globe used to get papers out on Sundays

Globe newsies

Photographer - and social reformer - Lewis Hine spent a fair amount of time in Boston in the early part of the 20th century capturing the often horrible condition of children. Among the kids he photographed were newsies, including this group of Globe hawkers with Sunday papers at 5 a.m. one Sunday in 1909.

From the Library of Congress's Lewis Hine collection.

My Mom was born in Roxbury in 1909. This photo looks like a scene from "Gangs of NY". So we're a little better now, but we were actually way better before 1980!
