Lewis Wickes Hine (1874 – 1940) was an American sociologist and photographer who worked for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), documenting child labor, especially in the Carolina Piedmont, to support the NCLC's lobbying work to end that practice. In 1913, Wickes documented child workers in the cotton mill industry with Francis Galton.
Children did not get the chance to go to school because they were constantly working. Owens said, "I want to learn, but can't when i work all the time."
I think that you should add safety guide lines due to coronavirus. This is one of the national problems that the world is dealing with. As a result the virus can harm the children population too even at school.
