Reading this made me realize that although there are things that go on at work that I don't like, that it could be a lot worse and I'm now more appreciative of the job that I have. – AF, NC - 2018-02-07
This made me very aware of hope racist and inconsiderate people are when it comes to their businesses back in the day. Especially with people that looked and lived different than we did. They was willing to work in a crappy environment for low pay just to get some type of wage to pay for themselves and their family. Its sad that this whole situation could have been less tragic if people wasn't so racist and inconsiderate of others – CGP, NC - 2018-02-07

But people have also learned from the past and been able to improve the working environment the workers work in. – Elizabeth, St.Charles IL - 2017-12-18
