“The Printer” - Taken 1905 by Lewis Hines. He took this at the school where he taught. Lewis referred to this photo as his first “bullseye” and it represents a critical moment in Hines’ path from teaching kids to becoming a documentary photographer who fought to end child labor. #DecisiveMoments

Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning ‘humanity to others’. It is often described as reminding us that ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’. To be human is to recognize the humanity of others, the core idea of human rights and dignity.
