To eradicate child labor, the National Child Labor Committee hired Lewis Hine in 1908 to take photographs of children in or near their workplaces in order to expose their plight. He did that for 10 years and photographed over 5,000 child laborers. Journalist and historian Joe Manning has identified over 250 of the children in Hine’s photos, tracked down and interviewed descendants, and told their stories.
