Between a Rock and a Hard Place: A History of American Sweatshops 1820 - Present

This online exhibit provides a look at one of the more unsavory aspects of American history. It can be viewed via a floor plan or a series of navigational toolbars. Each section is introduced by large images from the actual exhibit. In addition to the history section, there is a section on the El Monte California sweatshop (broken up in 1995), the fashion food chain, and a dialog in which six spokespeople give their views on the question "What should Americans know about sweatshop production in the United States?"
