- Description
- [Track 1] Footage of bracero workers arriving on a train to the El Centro Reception Center in El Centro, Calif. from a processing site in Empalme, Mexico. Incoming workers and their belongings are shown being sprayed with fumigation pesticides. This material was collected under duress by the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) of the United States government as part of the intake process of workers from Mexico into bracero labor camps. This material has been published due to the value for descendants of the Bracero Program. We ask that researchers respect the lives of these individuals and their communities by accounting for the context of the Bracero Program and to avoid further exploitation by treating bracero workers simply as data. [Track 2] Striking workers with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) march on the picket line on the side of the street in Podesta, Calif. [Track 3] Father Thomas McCullough present strategies for organizing farm worker families at the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) Strathmore Organizing Conference called in response to the AFL-CIO's withdrawal of support of AWOC. [Track 4] Unidentified person speaks at the Strathmore Organizing Conference. [Track 5] Workers with the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) on pilgrimage from Delano, Calif. to Sacramento, Calif. as part of the Delano Grape Strike.
