Joe Manning “The Lewis Hine Project: Tracking down the Lives of Child Laborers”
“Whatever happened to that child worker?” Motivated by this question, Joe
Manning has identified some of the more than 5,000 child laborers
photographed in the early 1900s by Lewis Hine, and has tracked down and
interviewed their descendants. Manning will show some of Hine’s historic photographs, tell the stories of the children in them, and talk about the exciting process of searching for descendants, most of whom were not aware of the pictures of their parents and grandparents
A 20th Anniversary Series offering of the Tsongas Industrial History
Center, a partnership of Lowell National Historical Park and the UMass
Lowell Graduate School of Education.
