CHILD LABOR, 1917 - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of Early 20th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured in April 1917 by Lewis Hine offers a haunting glimpse into the lives of two young boys caught in the clutches of child labor. In this sepia-toned print, we witness a pair of truants, aged just nine and eleven years old, tending to their fathers' mules during school hours in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Dressed in worn denim overalls and donning hats that shield their innocent faces from the scorching sun, these boys epitomize the struggles faced by many children from poor rural communities across the American South and Southwest. Their youthful features betray an early initiation into adulthood as they shoulder responsibilities far beyond their tender years. Hine's lens exposes not only the physical toll exacted on these youngsters but also highlights society's failure to protect its most vulnerable members. This image serves as a stark reminder of how child labor was once prevalent and accepted within working-class communities. As we reflect upon this powerful visual document today, it is essential to acknowledge our progress in eradicating such exploitative practices while recognizing that there is still work to be done. Let us honor those who fought for change and continue striving towards a future where every child can enjoy their right to education and a childhood free from exploitation.
