EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a group of young workers on the day shift at Old Dominion Glass Co. in Alexandria, Virginia, taken by Lewis Hine in June 1911. The image depicts the harsh reality of child labor during the turn of the century, highlighting the struggles faced by these adolescent African American boys. In this sepia-toned portrait, we see a group of determined young glassworkers standing together in their work attire. Each face tells a story of hardship and resilience as they navigate through an early working life that should be reserved for carefree summers and education. The boy in the foreground wears a cap, symbolizing his role as part of this workforce at such a tender age. Their presence serves as a reminder of the economic disparities and social inequalities that plagued America's working class during this era. Lewis Hine's photography played an instrumental role in exposing child labor abuses across various industries. Through his lens, he shed light on the plight endured by countless children who were robbed of their childhoods due to poverty and exploitation. This print from Granger Art on Demand is not just an artistic representation but also serves as a historical document reminding us how far we have come since then while urging us to continue fighting against injustice wherever it may exist today.
