Introduction

Good day my friends! My name is Lewis Hine. I am known for my investigative photographs for the National Child Labor Committee. My photos revealed the harsh truth of the Industry. I would travel through the streets, factories, mines, textile mills, and canneries to photograph the lives of the workers and tell their stories. I also joined the American Red Cross and photographed refugees and citizens. I made the public think deeply about just how hard the working class slaved to make the things they treasured and the kind of conditions the workers were forced to endure. I helped end child labor.
