Already by the time of child labor in many states was banned, but hardly somewhere observed. Only in 1908 the ban has spread all over the country, but then it took another few years until the problem is not began to fight for real. From 1910 to 1918 the photographer Lewis Hine documented child labor in the United States. On the instructions of the organization National Child Labor Comittee (NCLC), he has traveled all over the country, right or wrong penetrated into the factories and mines, a lot of risk. In many ways his pictures, as well as lobbying work NCLC changed in the US approach to the problem.
