-years after he started taking these photos the number of child labourers was cut in half (FIXME source?). Continued campaigns against child labour, aided by Hine's photographs, resulted in many states passing stricter laws around child labour ((http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/childlabor/about.htm)). By 1941, the Fair Labour Standards Act was passed to prohibit the vast majority of child labour((Ibid)). Those are the same laws, in America, that protect children today.

 What is interesting is that today most people credit Rosa Parks, the African-American woman who refused to surrender her bus seat to a white man, as being the catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. Hudson-Weems’ research shows otherwise and she provides a compelling quote from Emmett’s second-cousin to provide insight into this situation:

-  * Some pro-lifers argue that the use of these images harms the pro-life movement. If that were true, then why wouldn't pro-abortion groups like ARCC simply sit back and let us damage our own cause? Why do they try to cover up the images? The answer is simple: The abortion industry fears graphics because they cannot defend themselves from the essential point being made in these images—that their “choice” is actually the choice to destroy a child.

+==== Hearts and Minds Changed ====
+When we engage in our projects, we consistently see people change their minds on abortion--right in front of us. We have countless testimonies from our staff, interns, and volunteers, and you can view more of these stories in our [[https://www.endthekilling.ca/newsletters|newsletters]], on our [[https://www.endthekilling.ca/blog|blog]], and on our social media accounts.
+Some people do not change their minds immediately, but because the pictures leave a lasting impression, they eventually come to the conclusion that abortion should be unthinkable. Julie shares about how seeing a CCBR display influenced and changed her life.

+Joanna Krawczynski's testimony[[https://bccatholic.ca/content/student-activists-flip-campus-culture-right-side-up]]
+"Almost three years ago, I participated in the Genocide Awareness Project. It is designed to expose the inhumanity of abortion through dialogue and displays of images of abortion victims.
+On one of our last days of GAP at Florida International University, I met a young woman named Juri. She shared that, two years previous, she and a friend came by the display, literally kicking and screaming. Juri’s eyes fell as she told me how she and her friend talked about how much they hated the team of pro-life students.
+A few months later, Juri’s friend became pregnant. She was in a bad place, in a relationship with an abusive boyfriend. But her story – and her baby’s story – do not end there.
+Little Roman is now probably in preschool and preparing to enter kindergarten. His mom, Juri’s friend, chose to give him life. Roman returned the favour, as the young woman found the courage to leave the abusive relationship after he was born. He is the light of their lives.
+**Juri couldn’t remember why, but for some reason she kept the pro-life pamphlet she angrily snatched at the display. Taking another look changed her life, seeing what abortion would have done to little Roman.**
+I share this story because the message Juri shared with me is not just for me to hear.
+She said: 'I have no idea who those pro-life people were, those people we yelled at years ago. It hurts to think I’ll never be able to thank them in person. Can you tell them? Tell them: thank you for saving my nephew. Thank you for saving my Roman. Maybe, somehow, those pro-life people we yelled at will hear this message and be encouraged to keep up the good work they are doing.'" </note>
-<note> "You’re a smart guy with great arguments, but **nothing you said to me compares to the power of that image you showed me**. I can’t forget that. I think if you want to draw awareness to the reality of abortion, you should be doing more of that. If people see this, they won’t be so quick to abort their children." - Western University student, to Gerrit Van Dorland, [[https://www.endthekilling.ca/blog/2016/02/29/unity-our-best-shot-fortification|after seeing an image of an abortion victim]]
-</note>
 The stories, stats,and saved lives make it crystal clear: we must continue our efforts to show the truth. For once Canadians see what is chosen, they increasingly reject the abortion “choice.” The abortion advocates want the cover-up to continue. The pro-life movement must not aid the abortion industry in this death-sustaining cover-up.
