“Lewis Hine, Child Labor Investigator” opens Feb. 6 at The Dorsky Museum
Mark your calendar: There are four new exhibitions opening at The Dorsky Museum next Saturday, Feb. 6, including “Lewis Hine, Child Labor Investigator,” a visual deep-dive into the pre-labor-protections era of American history. Using photography as a tool for social change, Hine captured thousands of photographs in the early 1900s, many of which documented children working long hours in unsafe conditions. His work helped shift public sentiment and convince lawmakers to introduce new regulations to protect children.
“Lewis Hine, Child Labor Investigator,” shares a collection of photographs generously and recently donated to the Dorsky Museum by Howard Greenberg. It will be on view from Feb. 6 – July 11, 2021, in The Dorsky’s Sara Bedrick Gallery.
