Children going to a 12-hour night shift in the United States, 1908
This is the life that they used to promise people around 40 years ago. What has changed today?

Black & white photo of 9 children, who appear to be in their early teens, standing alone & in small groups before the tall double doors of a large brick building. The boys wear jackets & flat caps typical of the early 1900โs. The girls wear very full skirts to mid-calf; & bulky lace-draped headdresses that probably indicate their ethnicity, & that they are recent immigrants. One girl holds hands with a girl who is cut in half by the edge of the frame.
