PHOTOGRAPHS, circa 1920-1970

Summary: Photographs of League officers and events. All photographs are black-and-white.

Included are portraits of League presidents, executive secretaries, and board members. Most of the photographs depict formal bill signings by the governor of New Jersey or League conferences (1940-1970). Also contained in the series are sixteen photographs of migrant housing (circa 1950) that were used as visual aids for League testimony at a Federal hearing.

Of particular interest are copies of photographs taken to accompany "The Forgotten People," a 1961 article in the World Telegram & Sun in which the author reports on six months he spent working as a migrant laborer. Also of interest are five small photographs depicting child labor in agriculture during the late 1930s. The series also contains a photograph of Consumers League of New Jersey founder, Juliet Cushing (circa 1920s).
