EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captured by Lewis Hine in December 1908 depicts the harsh reality of child labor during the turn of the century. The image showcases a young worker, an unidentified boy, walking along train tracks towards Maple Mills in Dillon, South Carolina. At such a tender age, this adolescent has already spent two years toiling away at the textile mill. The sepia-toned print serves as a haunting reminder of the poverty-stricken lives these children endured. Dressed in tattered clothing and wearing a cap to shield himself from the elements, this young boy represents countless others who were forced into labor at an early age. Hine's lens exposes not only the physical toll that child labor took on these youngsters but also sheds light on their daily struggles and sacrifices. With determination etched onto his face, he walks with purpose along those train tracks - perhaps dreaming of a better future or simply trying to survive another day. This photograph is part of The Granger Collection's archive and serves as an important historical document that reminds us of our past atrocities while urging us to fight for justice and equality for all children around the world.
