Child Labor, 1900 - Present

The history of child labor in the twentieth century through the present is discussed through the photos of Lewis Hine, photos of farmworkers and charts and graphs of the International Labor Organization of the United Nations.  Students gain an understanding of the history of child labor and consider contemporary attitudes toward child labor.
