Share this quote on facebook You got no brains! Why are we starting to fight each other? It's just what the big shots want to see that we're street trash; street rats with no brains with no respect for nothin' including ourselves! So here's how it is: if we don't act together, then we're nothin', if we don't stick together, we're nothin', and if we can't even trust each other, then we're nothin'.

Share this quote on facebook [singing] We're a union just by sayin' so.

Share this quote on facebook In 1899, the streets of New York City echoed with the voices of newsies, peddling the papers of Joseph Pulitzer, William Randalph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world.

Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army without a leader, until one day all that changed.
