EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. The subject, 12-year-old Eddie Norton, stands solemnly in front of Saxon Mill in Spartanburg, North Carolina. With a broom in hand, he earns a meager income of about 40 cents per day as a sweeper. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, this image is part of his extensive documentation from 1908 to 1912 on the exploitation and working conditions endured by children across various industries. Hine's mission was to shed light on these injustices and advocate for reform. In this particular photo, Eddie represents countless children who were forced into labor at an early age due to poverty and societal circumstances. His young face reflects both resilience and weariness beyond his years. The backdrop of Saxon Mill serves as a stark reminder of the industrialization that fueled such exploitative practices. This textile factory symbolizes not only economic progress but also the dark underbelly of child labor prevalent during that era. Today, we look back on images like these with gratitude for the reforms achieved since then. They serve as poignant reminders that every child deserves access to education and protection from exploitation – rights we must continue fighting for globally.
