Based on celebrated labor leader Jesus Salas’ memoir "Obreros Unidos: The Roots and Legacy of the Farmworkers Movement," this is the compelling story of Salas' and other migrant workers' migration from Texas to Wisconsin. His story reflects the historic struggle of the Latino migrant farmworkers during the 1960s including substandard housing, lack of educational opportunities, brutal working conditions and poor wages. Milwaukee PBS examines the history of the Latino farmworkers experience and Salas' fight for fairness and respect, both in Milwaukee and nationwide.
