Strikes! Unions! Boycotts! How Migrant Workers Organized for Equality

In the late 19th century, the US was growing in power due to industrial advances and began an age of imperialism. Progressive movements led by labor unions evolved to protect workers, but migrant workers were mostly excluded from advances in American society. In this episode, Cory is joined by a farm worker from the 1960s to explore how the Latiné workforce organized to overcome discrimination.
