EDITORS COMMENTS
TEXAS: NEWSBOY, 1913. A poignant glimpse into the lives of three resilient brothers in San Antonio, Texas. In this powerful photograph captured by Lewis Hine in October 1913, these young boys can be seen selling newspapers tirelessly throughout the day until well past 10 P. M. , their dedication born out of necessity rather than choice. The absence of shoes on their feet and the worn-out caps perched atop their heads serve as stark reminders of the harsh realities they face daily. With a sick father at home, these children have been forced to forgo education and shoulder the burden of providing for their family at such tender ages. Hine's lens captures not only their physical appearance but also hints at the weight that rests upon their small shoulders. Their determined expressions speak volumes about their resilience and determination to survive amidst poverty and hardship. This sepia-toned portrait transports us back to a time when child labor was prevalent, shedding light on an era where innocence was sacrificed for economic survival. The image serves as a testament to both the strength and vulnerability inherent in youth. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, let us remember those who came before us - those whose sacrifices paved the way for progress - while also acknowledging that there is still work to be done in ensuring every child has access to education and opportunity.
