The BBC is running the article because there is a new book on Hine out. A fact the article (and even my excerpt) makes clear. Wind in the paranoia, mate.
I wasn’t questioning your excerpt. I was questioning the title the BBC gave the article. There is no paranoia from me. I just get a tad defensive when a county starts disparaging mine with snarkey titles to their stories. I know all about Hine and his photography. It’s good stuff. But when, in this case, the BBC uses it to slam the US, yeah, I get a bit upset. And again, maybe the BBC should do some articles on the UK’s child labour disgrace. Those kids from the South did it voluntarily. During the 1800’s in England kids were sold by orphanages and debt prisons to work in English textile mills under more horrific circumstances than what went on in the US. Mate.
