    Raised awareness of the abuses of child labor. Then NCLC hired him as a sociologist to photograph children working in fields/factories/mines.
     Public opinion then fueled which inspired Congress to enact national child labor legislation (his use of free speech awakened the conscious of Americans).
    Lewis also proved a camera can be powerful to demonstrate harsh conditions of these children

  • He is best remembered for his iconic photos of poor Americans during the 1940s (taken for a federal government project), for his photographic essays for Life magazine,
  • Born into poverty and segregation in Fort Scott, Kansas, in 1912, Parks was drawn to photography as a young man when he saw images of migrant workers in a magazine. After buying a camera at a pawnshop, he taught himself how to use it
  • Gordon Parks was one of the most groundbreaking figures in 20th century photography. His photojournalism during the 1940s to the 1960s reveals important aspects of American culture, and he became known for focusing on issues of civil rights, poverty, race relations and urban life.

Parks admired the pastor’s resolve, and the hours he spent each day at prayer with members of his congregation to help them endure the subjugation that many experienced in their jobs.
