"Let Children be Children: Lewis Wickes Hine's Crusade Against Child Labor" is the title of a photography exhibit at the Stedman Gallery on the Rutgers-Camden campus from March 13 thru May 6. Sociologist Lewis Wickes Hine's (American, 1874-1940) photography captured his concern for children, immigrants and the working-class. The exhibition of 55 prints offers a revealing look at child labor practices at the onset of American industrialization and the circumstances that poor working children endured well into the late 1930's. The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Rutgers Camden Center for Children and Childhood Studies.

This Life-Net Radio episode covers the opening reception and gallery talk, featuring guest speaker Dr. Philip Kilbride, Professor of Anthropology at Bryn Mawr College, who will discuss the role of children and labor in East Africa.
