They risked their lives in the fight for a better economic future for farmworkers and recognition that the men, women and children who picked produce in America’s fields were human beings and deserved to be treated with respect.

“Esperanza y Dignidad: The Farmworker Movement”, comisariada por el Tom & Ethel Bradley Center de la Universidad Estatal de California en Northridge, capta los rostros de cientos de hombres y mujeres que integraron el movimiento. La exposición se inaugura esta semana en el Museo de Justicia Social, en el centro de Los Ángeles.
