EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the resilience and determination of eight-year-old Jennie Camillo from Philadelphia as she picks cranberries at Theodore Budds Bog in Turkeytown, near Pemberton, New Jersey in 1910. The image, taken by renowned investigative photographer Lewis Wickes Hine, is a powerful testament to the harsh realities faced by children during the era of child labor. Hine's work for the National Child Labor Committee between 1908 and 1912 aimed to shed light on the exploitation and working conditions endured by young individuals across various industries. This particular photo showcases Jennie's involvement in agriculture, highlighting her role as a migrant worker alongside her family. The poignant expression on Jennie's face reflects both her youthfulness and maturity beyond her years. Her presence amidst the vast cranberry field symbolizes not only her contribution to supporting her family but also serves as a reminder of the poverty that many families experienced during this period. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in American history. It serves as a stark reminder of how far society has come since then while also urging us to continue fighting for social justice and fair treatment for all children.
