[Antiracism] [Workers Rights] The Lewis Hine Project 11/29

[WMass Jobs With Justice]

Thursday November 29
	THE LEWIS HINE PROJECT
	7-9pm, Holyoke Heritage State Park Visitors Center, 221 Appleton St,
Holyoke (534-1723, www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/central/hhsp.htm). 
	Local author and historian Joe Manning has undertaken a project to
find and interview descendants of child laborers who were photographed by
Lewis Hine in the early 1900s. So far, he has been successful for over 30
children. In almost all cases, the descendant or descendants had no idea
that such a photo of their ancestor existed or that the ancestor was a child
laborer. Click on the photos at Joe's website,
www.morningsonmaplestreet.com/lewishine.html, to learn about his exciting
search for Addie Card; children that Hine failed to identify which Joe is
nevertheless trying to track down; the National Public Radio story about
this project; 5,000 of Hine's photos at the Library of Congress; and more.
This is an amazing project which Joe will describe, display, and discuss at
this special event sponsored by Western Mass. Jobs with Justice with support
from the Holyoke Heritage State Park. Info: WMJwJ, 827-0301,
