All Things Considered, February 25, 2007 · With a camera the size of a bread box, photographer Lewis Hine infiltrated the factories, mills and mines where thousands of American children were forced to work in the early 1900s.

Hine was hired by the National Child Labor Commission to document violations of existing labor laws. Though many of the children in his photographs died without ever telling their stories, Hine's record of the conditions helped change labor laws in the United States.

Joe Manning, a Massachusetts historian, is tracking down the descendants of those laborers to let them know about their family history.
