Child Labor in West, Texas

This is an example of child labor a little closer to where this timeline on EBB's "Cry of the Children" was created at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Pictured is a girl who was under the legal age at the time to be working in this cotton mill, which was located right next to Waco in West, Texas.
