EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a poignant moment in history as Annie Bissie diligently picks berries in the fields near Baltimore, Maryland, in 1909. The image, taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, showcases the harsh reality of child labor during that era. Hine was an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee and dedicated his work to exposing the exploitation of children across various industries. In this particular photograph, we witness Annie's young face filled with determination as she contributes to her family's livelihood through back-breaking agricultural work. The image serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by immigrant families like Annie's who sought better opportunities but often found themselves trapped in cycles of poverty. The seasonal nature of berry picking highlights the itinerant lifestyle many migrant workers endured during this time. It also sheds light on the struggles faced by Polish immigrants seeking a new life in America. This powerful snapshot not only documents a specific moment but also symbolizes larger social issues such as child labor, immigration, and economic inequality. As we reflect upon this image today, let us remember those who fought for change and continue to strive towards creating fairer working conditions for all individuals.
