Progressive Era

Hello fellow bloggers. Have you ever looked back to the Progressive Era a thought about what issue are still occurring today? During the Progressive Era there where many issues in which muckrakers focused on. Three issues that I think are the most pressing are environmental protection, child labor protections, and African American rights. Environmental protection is still is still in issue today, trees are still being cut down to build more houses, cities, and towns. Cutting down these trees doesn't only mean getting rid of a tree, but also getting rid of many animals' habitats. Another issue is child labor protections. Still to this day children are prioritizing work to help their parents and families over doing well in school. These jobs aren't easy either, I think this is a pressing issue because children are dropping out of school to help out their families. African American rights are another issue, this is in general, today many people are discriminated because of their religion or their color.
