EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1917 captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. The image showcases a five-year-old newsboy named Hymie Miller, who can be seen diligently at work on the streets of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Despite his tender age, Hymie is adorned in a cap and knickers, embodying the innocence that should define childhood. Lewis Hine's lens skillfully portrays this young boy's daily life as he navigates through poverty-stricken surroundings. Standing on a bustling sidewalk, Hymie proudly displays newspapers for sale while wearing a charming smile that belies his challenging circumstances. The worn sign behind him serves as a stark reminder of the working class struggle prevalent during this era. In capturing this street scene with such clarity and emotion, Lewis Hine brings attention to the pressing issue of child labor in America at that time. This powerful portrait not only exposes societal inequalities but also highlights the resilience and determination embodied by children like Hymie Miller. As we gaze upon this poignant piece of history frozen in time, it serves as an important reminder to appreciate our progress towards eradicating child labor while acknowledging how far we still have to go in ensuring every child has access to their rightful carefree years filled with education and playfulness.
