"Kids at Work" by Lewis Wickes Hine is a poignant photographic documentary that captures the harsh realities of child labor in the early 20th century America. Through compelling images, Hine exposes the exploitative conditions under which children worked in factories, mines, and fields. His work not only documents the physical toll on young workers but also serves as a powerful call to action, advocating for labor reforms and children's rights. The book stands as a historical testament to the resilience of children and the profound impact of advocacy in shaping labor laws and improving the lives of future generations.
