Farmworker Justice oral History Project

Other Misc - Historias (Oral Histories of Farmworkers)

Nothing can better illustrate the living and working conditions of farmworkers better than the stories of farmworkers themselves. In this series of profiles of farmworker advocates, Farmworker Justice Communications Coordinator Barb Howe interviews people who grew up in families that migrated with the seasons and worked in the fields planting, tending and harvesting the food that feeds our country. With a focus on their early life experiences, these brief interviews provide a unique glimpse into the influences of some of the most inspiring figures in the farmworkers' rights community today. It is our intent that even those who know these formidable farmworker advocates well will learn something new about them.
