The photographs and the book were part of a campaign at Harvard University seeking higher wages for menial labor staff and other basic positions. The activism called for the minimum wage of Harvard workers being raised from $8 to $10.25 to match the minimum wage of Cambridge, Massachusetts, where the school is located. The result was that the minimum wage raised to $11.35 for janitors and $11.15 for security guards.^[1]
