EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Jewel and Harold Walker, aged just 6 and 5 years old, can be seen diligently picking cotton at Geronimo, Comanche County Oklahoma in 1916. The image was captured by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee. Hine's mission was to shed light on the exploitative working conditions endured by children across various industries during this time. In this particular photo, we witness the young siblings toiling away in a cotton field, their small hands carefully plucking bolls from dawn till dusk. The children's father had promised them a little wagon if they picked steadily, motivating them to work tirelessly despite their tender age. As Hine documented these scenes of child labor throughout his career, he aimed to raise awareness about the plight of these vulnerable youngsters who were forced into grueling work instead of enjoying a carefree childhood. This haunting image serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by countless children during an era when poverty and exploitation were rampant. It also highlights the resilience and determination displayed by young individuals like Jewel and Harold as they navigated through challenging circumstances. Today, this photograph stands as a historical artifact that continues to evoke emotions while urging us to reflect upon our progress in protecting the rights and well-being of all children around the world.
