Now we get to know the answer to the question:  Does the Lower Class have anything to offer besides their labor?

We answer the question, how did the lower class achieve literacy?  And why did they make the effort?

This episode focuses in on the ways the 350 lower class writers analyzed by Emma Griffin in Liberty's Dawn, achieve literacy, despite often being pulled out of school at age 6 and sent to work.  We'll discuss the mutual improvement movement, night schools, Sunday schools and Mechanics Institutes.
