Josie (6 years old), Bertha (6 years old) and Sophie (10 years old) worked regularly at the Maggioni Canning Company.
Work began at 4 AM, and the three would make from $9 to $15 a week.
Sophie would do six pots of oyster a day, and her mother, who also worked with her, said, "She don't go to school. Works all the time."
Through such photos, Lewis Hine documented the harsh working conditions borne by thousands of children, who were sent to work soon after they could walk and were paid based on how many buckets of oysters they shucked daily.
Mr Hines wrote of one photograph: ‘All but the very smallest babies work. Begin work at 3:30am and expected to work until 5pm.’ He covered around 50,000 miles a year, photographing children from Chicago to Florida working in coal mines and factories.
These photos helped to raise an outcry against child labor and made the American public widely aware of the scope of the problem.
On this day in 1972, Watchman Nee died in prison.
God used Nee's work in China to create a system of underground churches that has survived and grown over the past 50 years. Many have come to know Christ through his ministry. Pray for the underground church in China.
This is Craig Elston.
When the blizzard struck Buffalo, he opened up his barbershop for anyone who needed it.
Fifty people came into his shop to stay warm, charge their phones, and find shelter.
Know his name.
So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. - Gandalf
