The notice announcing the ban did not mention the use of DDT on field crops other than tobacco, nor did the notice contain any warnings against the use ofother economic poisons. UFWOC considers the ban to be severly limited, almost a joke. "In the first place," said Cohen, "the ban does not pertain to field crops. In the second place, even when DDT is banned in the fields, growers will switch to other pesticides, many of which are even more dangerous to farm workers and consumers than DDT. The federal and state govern­ ments must realize that DDT is not the most toxic of the chlorinated hydrocarbons. Dieldrin and Aldrin, both of which are used by grape growers, are even more dangerous.

  • Through the Eyes of a Bracero
    Through The Eyes of A Bracero A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the History Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts by Karina Flores June, 2010 © 2010 Karina Flores I. INTRODUCTION “Dicen por allí” or the word around town was that “el Norte” was in search of men to harvest the fertile lands of California. Jose Carmen Flores did not fully understand what it meant to travel to the United States as a contracted labor worker. The few things he did know was that “prometieron un sueldo reasonable” or a reasonable salary was promised and he would be away from home for no more than 3 to 4 months at a time. He registered as a bracero and quickly left behind his young wife and his not yet born first baby, Eufemio. He made the journey to “el Norte” in the company of other wishful men who believed that their prayers to “la Virgen Maria” were being answered. Finally reaching “el Norte” brought tears to his eyes, “al fin llegue al pais de la esperanza,” meaning he arrived to the hopeful country. After migrating for several years between “el Norte” and Mexico, Jose Carmen’s hopes and dreams were shattered. “El sueldo reasonable” no longer held up to be true, and he was not paid for several of the jobs he conducted day in and day out. Braceros were like-minded in that they brought with them a limited understanding as well as unreliable images of life in the United States.

  • Adios Amor: the Search for Maria Moreno
    Latino Public Broadcasting | VOCES Season 5 Outreach Guide for Adios Amor: The Search for Maria Moreno Thank you for taking the extra step to encourage viewers of Adios Amor: The Search for Maria Moreno to think critically about the film and its themes, and to share their thoughts with others in their community. According to U.S. Census projections, it is anticipated that the U.S. Latino population will grow by 167% between 2010 and 2050. As Latino Americans expand their impact economically, culturally and politically, they will contribute more and more to our ongoing national conversations about identity and empowerment. As the demographic landscape continues to shift, public media can play a significant role in building bridges of understanding by presenting audiences with trustworthy content and neutral spaces for meaningful dialogue. Community conversations hold tremendous potential to enrich our understanding of our unique and varied stories, as well as our shared values, forging a future as a nation whose strength lies in its diversity. This outreach guide offers themes to inspire conversation, as well as tips for planning events, suggestions for community partners and speakers, social media strategies and discussion questions, supplemental readings and free resources to accompany the film. Film Summary: Set in 1950s and 60s California, Adios Amor recaptures the forgotten yet epic struggle of Maria Moreno, a determined migrant mother who became an early outspoken leader in the movement for farmworker rights years before Dolores

Years before Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta launched the United Farm Workers, Maria picked up the only weapon she had— her voice—and became an outspoken leader in an era when women were relegated to the background. The first farm worker woman in the U.S. to be hired as a union organizer, Maria’s story was silenced and her legacy buried—until now. LONG SYNOPSIS Before Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez, there was Maria Moreno. In the ADIOS AMOR, the discovery of lost photographs taken more than fifty years ago sparks the search for a hero that history forgot: Maria Moreno, a migrant mother who sacrificed everything but her twelve kids in the passionate pursuit of justice for farmworkers. Haunted by a personal tragedy and blessed with a gift for oratory, Maria rolled up her sleeves, collected signatures, and electrified audiences. Elected by her fellow Mexican American, Filipino, Black and Okie farmworkers to represent them, she became the first farm worker woman in America to be hired as a union organizer.
