Description
The article on the top of the left side states that in 1968 there were approximately 14,000 children working in the fields. Such actions were a direct violation of the child labor laws. The image is of children, their parents and co-workers on the front lines boycotting unjust and inhumane working conditions. The article that follows describes one of the many tragedies that Mexicans faced. It describes the treacherous journey of 46 men to the United States. On the right side there are images of Esperanza Pulmano, Carmen Reyes and Leona Guzma cooking for folks at the picket line. The image that follows shows George Ebale, Tom Dahiling and Martin Galaport in the fields.
