Child Labor, 1911 - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of Early 20th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a seven-year-old boy diligently picking berries on T. B. Smart Bog at South Carver, Massachusetts in September 1911. The image, taken by Lewis Hine, serves as a stark reminder of the widespread child labor prevalent during this era. Dressed in worn-out clothing and donning a cap to shield himself from the scorching sun, the young boy embodies innocence lost amidst backbreaking work. With his small bucket in hand, he navigates through rows upon rows of berry bushes under the watchful eye of farmers and migrant workers. The photograph offers us a glimpse into the daily life of working-class families struggling to make ends meet. It exposes how children were often forced to contribute to their family's income at an early age instead of enjoying their childhood years. Hine's lens not only captures this specific child laborer but also sheds light on larger societal issues such as poverty and exploitation that plagued turn-of-the-century rural communities across North America. As we reflect upon this haunting image over a century later, it serves as a powerful testament to human resilience and reminds us of our responsibility to protect future generations from similar injustices. Let it stand as an enduring symbol urging us never to forget those who suffered under these harsh conditions and inspiring us towards creating a more just society for all children today.
