Lewis Hine in Maryland

Ongoing Event Visual Arts
All Day • Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery

The Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents Lewis Hine in Maryland, on display from August 24 through December 18. The exhibition will be accompanied by Lisa Oppenheim/Lewis Hine: Spine/Verso. From 1908 to 1924, documentary photographer Lewis Hine (American, 1874–1940) photographed children working in coal mines, cotton mills, farms, tenements, and city streets. His images appeared in pamphlets, posters, traveling exhibitions, and lantern-slide presentations across the country. Ultimately, these searing photographs helped shape labor legislation in the United States and established a model for documentary photography.

What does economics have to say about this matter? We will cover the basic approach economic theory takes, some classic portfolio recommendations, and new advances in how to adjust your investment allocation in light of the fact that most people’s biggest economic asset is their future wage income and Social Security benefits.
