File talk:1912 Lawrence Textile Strike 3.jpg

This image has been misidentified by the original source, who most likely used it for illustrative purposes on conditions in 1912 textile mills, not as a depiction of the strike itself. First, it would be odd for a picture of a strike to show people at work. Second, more importantly, this image was taken in Macon, Georgia, as part of the famous Louis W. Hine series on child labor. Here is the LOC reference, LC-DIG-nclc-0158.

Wikimedia already has the image, with correct identification, at this location. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mill_Children_in_Macon.jpg
