National Child Labor Committee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) is a private, non-profit organization founded in 1904 by Edgar G. Murphy and incorporated by an Act of Congress in 1907 with the mission of "promoting the rights, awareness, dignity, well-being and education of children and youth as they relate to work and working."
The committee generally works with laws and regulations to prevent harm to children in the workplace.
It is best known for the work of photographer Lewis Hine who photographically documented bad working conditions for children in the early part of the 20th century.
