EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph captured by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1915, we witness the resilience and determination of a young boy named Alex Reiber. At just seven years old, he carries on with his arduous task of topping sugar beets, even after hooking his knee. This image is a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by children during an era plagued by child labor. Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, dedicated himself to exposing the exploitation and working conditions endured by children across various industries. His powerful documentation from 1908-1912 shed light on these pressing issues that demanded attention. Set against the backdrop of Sterling, Colorado's agricultural landscape, Alex stands as a symbol of perseverance amidst adversity. The photo captures him diligently working in the fields as part of an itinerant workforce struggling with poverty. With a knife in hand and surrounded by towering sugar beet crops, he embodies both innocence and responsibility beyond his tender age. This evocative image serves as a testament to the hardships faced by countless children who were forced into labor at such young ages. It also reminds us of our collective duty to protect and advocate for their rights. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time through Hine's lens, let us strive towards creating a world where no child is robbed of their childhood or denied access to education due to circumstances beyond their control.
