And Hine’s photos of child mill workers. My own grandmother did a stint in a mill at age 12. She never went past the 6th grade.

My first union was ILGWU, and later worked in a building that was their headquarters. They had these and similar photos in our lobby, as well as the poem:

“The golf links lie so near the mill
That almost everyday
The laboring children can look out
And see the men at play”
