I found your piece to be very touching and a good reminder of how far we have come as a country in terms of our own laws.

Maybe the use of pictures, such as the one above, would be good way to spread today’s child labor issues.

Many times they are sold into the job by parents. People will do many things we don’t like to see just to make a better life for themselves.

Reblogged this on Work In Progress and commented: This post, "Factory Girls and Boys," documents how common child labor was in the early years of the 20th century. The photos make me very angry.

Wow, what an incredible archive collection of photos…It is so interesting to see how society has changed in its exploitation of children, which undoubtedly still occurs all over the world today.

Cheers!
