With a little nudge from 
Alison Noyes
(Thank you, Alison!), I'd like to share a post from 
Michael Berson
in the KidCitizen group titled Child Labor 2023. In that post, Michael references the latest disturbing data about child labor in Maine.
TPS Teachers Network users regularly post about and create albums of the photographs of activist/photographer Lewis Hine, and fortunately for Maine educators, Hine took a lot of photos of child labor in Maine.
Here's a tip for finding those Maine photos:
- Navigate to the National Child Labor Committee Collection.
- Click on the link for Collection Items.
- Look for the "facets" on the left. Expand to More Locations.
- Click on Maine to see all 72 items in the collection from Maine!
And now you're ready to create your own album of Child Labor photos from Maine! For more on creating albums, visit the ALBUMS section of the Help Center.
5 year old Preston, a young cartoner in a Maine Canning Co. I saw him at work different times during the day - at 7 a.m., in the afternoon and at 6 p.m., and he kept at it very faithfully for so young a worker. Location: Eastport, Maine.
