January 6, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - January 16, 2025 @ 6:00 pm

This groundbreaking exhibit showcases the work of Lewis Hine, whose compelling images captured the harsh realities of child labor conditions in America in the early 1900s. Among his most striking works are photographs taken right here in Tifton, Georgia, where he documented the lives of young children working in the Tifton Cotton Mill. His unflinching lens revealed the stories of children often overlooked, becoming a catalyst for crucial reforms in workers’ rights and safety standards that continue to shape America today.
