EDITORS COMMENTS
ALABAMA: CHILD LABOR, 1910. A poignant glimpse into the lives of young textile workers at the Dallas Cotton Mill in Huntsville, Alabama. Captured by Lewis Hine in November 1910, this photograph serves as a haunting reminder of the hardships endured by children during this era. In sepia tones that evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, a group of adolescents stand together after their long day's work. Clad in worn-out jackets and knickers, these barefoot boys bear witness to the early realities of laboring at an age when they should be enjoying carefree moments. Their faces tell stories untold; expressions ranging from weariness to determination reflect both the toll taken on their young bodies and spirits. Each child is a portrait etched with resilience amidst poverty and struggle. This image captures not only the physical presence but also represents an entire generation marked by exploitation within Southeastern America's textile industry. It stands as evidence against child labor practices prevalent at the turn of the century. The photographer, Lewis Hine, played a significant role in exposing such injustices through his powerful documentation. His lens brought attention to societal issues that demanded reform and ignited conversations surrounding child welfare laws. As we gaze upon this print from The Granger Collection today, let us remember those who fought for change so that future generations could experience childhoods free from exploitation.
