I have decided to do my powerpoint presentation on Lewis Hine. In the early 1900s he took pictures of child laborers to help raise awareness of child labor in our country. The pictures that he took helped bring about the Federal Wage and Hour Law in 1938. I was drawn to his pictures because they tell such a haunting story. I feel like I can look in the children's eyes and see their pain and suffering. I liked how Hine used his pictures as a powerful tool to facilitate social reform.
