They all look happy, I can’t help wonder if she has their attention or is someone having a joke at her expense?

By our standards, sure. Back then they had more rights than many women and minorities, a pack a day habit, and a 20 year career as a coal worker before they die.

Rights only if you had money you had rights. There are only a few years between general voting rights for all men and all women

Money got you MORE rights, just like today.

They are all laughing. She must have said something like equal pay /s

Edit; and why have all the kids sitting awkwardly on the stage? Beyond that is a bunch of young men laughing in discuss. The is censorship, or at least a set up
