About this listen
Soak 'em boys! Today we're discussing the real-life historical events that inspired the 1992 Disney movie Newsies and its later broadway adaptation: it's the 1899 Newsboys Strike! This strike has everything from super creative nicknames, a bitter feud between newspaper moguls and the impacts of yellow journalism, colorful transcripts from speeches and rallies, and kids armed with rocks and clubs holding their own against grown adults.
