Tomorrow Monday May 22 at 7:00 -- Join us at the New Market, NH, Historical Society for an illustrated lecture exploring child labor in New England during the Progressive period from 1890 to 1918 as captured by the photography of Lewis W. Hine. Professor Robert Macieski will examine the relationship between “social photography,” as Hine called documentary photography, and movements for social reform.
UNHM Professor Macieski is an Associate Professor of History with fields in 19th and 20th century American social history and specialties in urban, industrial, and immigration
history, and the history of race. He has won the UNHM Teaching Excellence Award and has been the recipient of a Fulbright Distinguished Chair in History at Moscow State University. Photo is the cover of his latest book, Picturing Class: Lewis W. Hine Photographs Child Labor in New England. More: http://www.newmarketnhhistoricalsociety.org/events/
