Lewis Hine and the photos that changed America.
Hine's work for the NCLC was often dangerous. As a photographer, he was frequently threatened with violence or even death by factory police and foremen. At the time, the immorality of child labor was meant to be hidden from the public.
Photography was not only prohibited but also posed a serious threat to the industry. To gain entry to the mills, mines and factories, Hine was forced to assume many guises. At times he was a fire inspector, postcard vendor, bible salesman, or even an industrial photographer making a record of factory machinery.
Hine's photographs supported the NCLC's lobbying to end child labor, and in 1912 the Children's Bureau was created. The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 eventually brought child labour in the US to an end.
AFFILIATION/CERTIFICATION
We believe that collaboration is key to better sustainable practices and are working with a number of key associations to deliver our vision.
Together we can make fashion
circular and help tackle the root
causes of global challenges like
climate change, biodiversity loss,
and pollution.
