A fact from Shoeshiner appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Malcolm X, James Brown, and the current President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva all worked as shoeshiners when they were young? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/August.

when I travelled in South America, I noticed that a number of boys wore masks while shining shoes. Anyone got any sources about this that we could add to the article? --Allemandtando (talk) 17:32, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
