Thank you for this nicely done project. See also video v=Ccg_EZwWzEo, Charles Kernaghan at the IAFF convention in 2010. Watch related videos with his speeches. If you ever buy anything from Wal-Mart, the Gap, Target, H&M, Mattel, Toys-R-Us, or countless other mass market retailers, you are buying goods made directly by children and other gravely exploited workers. The only act in recent history that would have addressed the issue is called The Decent Working Conditions and Fair Competition Act.

hey this is tufu4u but from a different account. I dont have any of the sources anymore, but most of the child labor pictures were googled, and were taken by the photographer lewis hine. The video was made for a project called History Day Los Angeles in the 8th grade.
