Lewis Hine was a New York City school teacher and photographer. He disliked child labor so much that he quit his teaching job and became an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee. He traversed throughout the country and photographed the working conditions of children in all types of industries such as in coal mines, meatpacking houses, textile mills, etc... He had to trick his way into factories to take the pictures as factory managers did not want the public to see what was truly going on. One of his major goals was to show the poor working conditions of children in coal mines and sweatshops.
