Bringing In The Harvest: Laborers In Massachusetts Agriculture, Jane Becker, Diana Limbach Lempel, Angel Mendez, Maria Moreira

Massachusetts History Conference

Join our panelists as they explore the recent history of laborers in the fields and on the ocean. Although seemingly different, the farm and fishery share an extraordinary diversity of their labor force. Learn how “world farmers,” recent immigrants, and long-time agricultural workers create a distinctive Massachusetts experience that can be explored through history programs and activities.
