EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the resilience and determination of two young girls, Amelia and Mary Luft, as they work diligently on a sugar beet farm near Sterling, Colorado in 1915. At just 9 and 12 years old, these sisters are seen cutting sugar beets with focused expressions on their faces. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee during the early 20th century, this image sheds light on the harsh reality of child labor in America. Hine's mission was to expose the exploitation of children across various industries through his thought-provoking photographs. In this particular scene, we witness Amelia and Mary immersed in their arduous task amidst a backdrop of poverty and hardship. Their small frames stand out against the vastness of the farm as they use knives to harvest the crop that will eventually become sugar. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by countless children who were forced into labor at such tender ages. It also highlights their strength and resilience despite facing unimaginable circumstances. As we reflect upon this image today, it is crucial to remember how far society has come in protecting children's rights while acknowledging that there is still work to be done to ensure every child receives proper care, education, and opportunities for growth.
