To pressure California governor Gavin Newsom to pass legislation protecting the rights of farm workers to organize, United Farm Worker union members and supporters led a mass march 350 miles north from Delano, California, where the farm worker movement began,to the steps of the state capitol.
I am a bilingual, academically-trained historian/photojournalist (Ph. D. Wisconsin), author of a multi-volume scholarly history of California farmworkers. I founded my own business, Streetshots agricultural photography. For 30 years I worked as an agricultural photographer/journalist, defined broadly, in order to remain submerged in the industry that is the setting for my field of expertise.
