EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1913, it depicts a group of itinerant cotton pickers leaving a farm near McKinney, Texas after toiling away all day under the scorching sun. These hardworking individuals managed to gather an impressive bale and a half of cotton each day. Hine was not just any photographer; he was an investigative photojournalist for the National Child Labor Committee. His mission was to shed light on the harsh working conditions and exploitation faced by children across various industries during that time period. This particular image is part of his extensive documentation from 1908-1912. In this photograph, we see men, women, and even a dog standing beside their loaded wagon as they prepare to move on from one laborious job to another. The weariness etched on their faces speaks volumes about the hardships they endure daily in order to make ends meet. The presence of family members further emphasizes the dire circumstances these workers face. Poverty looms large over them as they migrate from place to place in search of work opportunities. Through this evocative image, Hine exposes the realities of child labor and poverty-stricken families within America's agricultural sector at that time. It serves as both a historical record and a reminder of how far we have come in our efforts towards social justice and fair labor practices.
