STREET CHILDREN, 1917 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Oklahoma City's Youth
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in April 1917, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of street children in Oklahoma City. The image captures a scene filled with youthful energy and innocence as children play freely on the city streets. In this early 20th-century snapshot, we witness a group of barefoot boys immersed in their own world of imagination and camaraderie. Their faces reflect both resilience and vulnerability, embodying the harsh realities faced by many during that time. The sepia-toned print transports us to an era when poverty was rampant across America's southwest region. These young souls found solace amidst dilapidated buildings and alleyways - their playgrounds where dreams were born. As we observe these youngsters navigating through life's challenges with determination etched upon their faces, it serves as a reminder of the strength that can be found even in adversity. Each child wears his own unique cap - perhaps symbolizing individuality or offering protection from life's uncertainties. Lewis Hine masterfully captures this street scene, immortalizing these forgotten voices through his lens. This photograph not only documents history but also evokes empathy for those who have been marginalized throughout time. "STREET CHILDREN, 1917" stands as an enduring testament to the resilience and spirit of youth facing hardship head-on. It is a powerful reminder that every child deserves love
