EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in April 1913, transports us back to a different era in Georgia. The image depicts two young girls diligently working as Dinner-Toters, delivering food to workers on the streets of Columbus. Despite their tender age, these adolescent girls are seen braving the early morning hours barefooted, dressed modestly in simple attire. The sepia-toned print captures the essence of poverty that plagued many American towns during this time period. As they walk along the sidewalk with baskets filled with meals atop their heads, one cannot help but be moved by their resilience and determination amidst challenging circumstances. The street scene showcases an exterior view of a Southeastern town where hardworking women like these young girls formed an integral part of the working class. Their contribution was crucial not only for themselves but also for those who relied on them for sustenance during long days at work. Lewis Hine's powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of child labor prevalent in America at that time. It sheds light on the harsh realities faced by countless children who were forced into labor due to economic hardships. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured over a century ago, let it serve as a testament to both the strength and vulnerability of youth caught up in societal struggles beyond their control.
