EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. In the image, we see a young boy named Warren Frakes, only six years old, standing proudly with a heavy burden on his small shoulders. His bag is filled with approximately 20 pounds of cotton that he has picked in Comanche County, Oklahoma in 1916. Warren's story is both heartbreaking and eye-opening. Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, documented the exploitation and working conditions faced by children during this time period. Hine's photographs aimed to raise awareness about child labor across various industries. In this particular photo, Warren's mother reveals that her son had already picked an astonishing 41 pounds of cotton the day before. She emphasizes that she does not force him to work but acknowledges that he had also worked as a picker last year. The image serves as a stark reminder of the hardships endured by children like Warren who were forced into labor at such tender ages due to poverty and economic necessity. It sheds light on their struggles within agriculture and farming communities where migrant workers often faced extreme poverty. This photograph stands as a testament to Hine's dedication to exposing social injustices through his lens and reminds us all of the importance of protecting our most vulnerable members - our children - from exploitation.
