More information about Final Jeopardy:
In an early example of photojournalism, Jacob Riis documented the squalor that was the New York City slums and tenements of the 1880s Lower East Side. Many in the upper-class and middle-class residents of New York and the United States were unaware of just how poor the conditions were; many of the tenement’s residents had immigrated recently into the United States and had stayed in New York City. Riis’ use of magnesium flash powder was able to capture the dark conditions. By 1888, Riis had begun a lecture tour to present the photographs; in January 1890, a book version titled How the Other Half Lives: Studies among the Tenements of New York was published. The work helped kickstart the reform movement towards housing; this had the additional effect of removing many of the contagious diseases which had been originating in the filth.
