EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in 1910. In the image, an eight-year-old cranberry picker can be seen carrying two pecks at a time in Brown Mills, New Jersey. The young boy, wearing denim overalls and a cap to shield himself from the sun, represents the countless children who were forced into backbreaking work during this era. Photographed by Lewis Hine in September 1910, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by working-class families in rural America. The boy's Hispanic heritage is evident through his features and adds another layer of complexity to his story. The photo showcases not only the physical demands placed on these young workers but also their resilience and determination. Despite their tender age, they were expected to contribute to their family's income through grueling manual labor. Hine's lens captures both the innocence lost due to early exposure to adult responsibilities and the stark contrast between childhood and adulthood during that time period. This snapshot freezes a moment in history when child labor was prevalent across North America. As we reflect upon this haunting image today, it serves as a call for continued efforts towards social progress and protection of children's rights worldwide.
