Abstract:
Based upon a North Carolina Museum of History exhibit, this article examines how Lewis Hine’s expose of child labor exploitation in North Carolina’s textile mills contributed to stronger child labor laws. It also reveals that child labor is a current history issue, making whistleblowing initiatives of individuals like Hine still crucial.
