Hine was most famous as a social reformer, taking pictures of terrible living and working conditions, particularly child labor.

Most people do not know, today, about the "reformers" of the early 1900's,
how much poverty, child labor, squalor, there was in East Coast cities then,
and how important some photographers were in helping change conditions.
