EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. In the image, Edith, aged 5, and Hughie, aged 6, can be seen toiling away in a cotton field all day long. Their young faces show signs of exhaustion and determination as they pick cotton alongside their older siblings. The caption reveals that Alton, aged 7, manages to pick 50 pounds of cotton while Ruth, aged 9, picks an impressive 75 pounds. This staggering workload highlights the exploitation these children faced at such tender ages. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in Bells, Texas in 1913 for the National Child Labor Committee's documentation project on child labor across various industries. Hine's photographs aimed to shed light on the working conditions endured by children during this era. The photo also hints at larger societal issues such as poverty and migration as itinerant workers moved from place to place seeking employment opportunities. The bags carried by Edith and Hughie symbolize their contribution to a bountiful harvest but also serve as a reminder of their lost childhoods. This haunting image serves as a poignant reminder of our past and stands as a testament to the resilience of these young individuals who were forced into labor far beyond their years.
