• Seeking History: When childhood went to work (times-georgian.com) — A historic photo at the West Georgia Museum in Tallapoosa shows very young boys who once worked at the town's old thread mill, some barefoot and injured. Using that image, the piece explains how child labor shaped early textile mills and how national reforms eventually moved children from factory floors into schools and playgrounds.
