Photo of 1909 Child Labor Protest
Child labor protest, probably in New York City on May 1, 1909. Note the U.S. flag that the girl wearing a sash in Yiddish is holding. The girl with a sash in English seems to be holding a flag, too, albeit one in a single color, perhaps socialist red. The message on the sashes is uncompromising: “ABOLISH CHILD SLAVERY!”
