A couple of days ago I found out that my father had been part of the Bracero Program. He passed away when I was about four years old, so I would like to know about him. Hopefully I can find some sort of information here. His name was Manuel Lopez Hurtado he was from Jalisco and was probably about twenty years around the time. He was a cotton picker and worked mostly in Texas until his boss help him and some other men immigrate and he then moved to McFarland, CA. It would be nice to know a little about his life during this time since what my mom has told me is very little.

My Dad, Celedonio Galaviz came to the United States of America in 1951.He came to paticipate in the Bracero program.He did't have enough money to make the journey from Jalisco to the US border so my Grandmother(on my Mom's side) gave them a cow.They looked at it as an investment in thier feurure,so they sold the cow for 80 pesos which was alot of money in that time,and used the money to make the long trip to the US.He had 2 contracts with the Barcero program.The first time he went to Texas,the second time to California.He did faced racio descrimination in Texas,like having to use the back entrance at restuarants to eat and drinking out of a water hose insted of a fountain.He didn't mind or complain much,he was just glad to be working and making money to help support his family in Mexico.He tells about a time when they were asking all the short men to line up on one side.But they left him out, so step in line with the short men. Until they noticed him and made him get back in line with the other men.He questioned them and they said that all the short men were going to pick lettus,celery,strawberies...and that the taller men were going to pick lemons,ornges...he was 6ft tall.By the time he came to California he was known as a hard worker and was asked to return to work in the US when his contract expired. He was sponcered to come here and work by his boss.He got his Green card,and later his US citizenship.He sent for his family,all seven of us in 1965.He used to say "I don't have alot of mony to leave you, but what I do leave you is a land where you can do or be anything you want".We all made good in the United States and are thankful to our Mom and Dad for bringing us to this land of oppertunity.Thank You Dad.

I was given up at birth by my Biological Mother, Patricia Phares. She will not tell me who my father is. I only know a few things other than I look like him so here is the information I have about him: 1. My father worked on Herbert Phares Farm in Indiana planting & harvesting tomatos 2. He worked the 1965 tomato season 3. He & my mother dated a few times 4. He stayed in Indianapolis, Indiana at the housing unit 4. I was born in May of 1966 So I am looking for any information &/or records from this time period for this area. Maybe I can find someone who knew of their relationship or possibly find my father. I really would like to know him. No expectations other than knowing him. I have a lot of health problems and family information would be helpful. Please lead the way to finding my DAD.

I a son of a California farmer--in Chula Vista, CA (Otay Valley) we had a Bracero "camp" of about 40-50 Mexican workers for several years . I was born in 1948--after my family was released from Poston internment camp since we were detained as Japanese Americans. Memories were that as a kid--I woud run down to the camp during lunch to get burritos from the workers--the workers seem to love to share their food. Years and Years late--1990's---I was working as a lobbyist in Sacramento....I had the opportunity to meet new members of the California State Assembly. I had a meeting to meet a new member from Chula Vista--Juan Vargas a young Harvard trained new elected Legislator. During our meet and greet--Juan told me that his dad came to California as a Bracero working with a farmer named Takashima. I told him that farmer was my dad. What wonderful turn of events---I am lobbyist seeking votes from person (Juan Vargas) that would not be in California but for his dad having the opportunity to come to California Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mexico joined The Allied Forces against tyranny and oppression around the world; and Whereas, The United States and Mexico initiated The Bracero Program in 1942 to 1964, and for 22 years, 4.5 million skilled laborers worked on America’s dams, railways, roadways, assembly plants, mines and help to developed America’s agricultural lands, many joined the U.S. military; and Whereas, Braceros helped to feed and nourish The Allied Forces during the War and the Reconstruction that followed, lifting many nations from rubble and raising the standard of living for millions around the world; and Whereas, the following two tragic and preventable accidents illustrate the callous negligence and disregard for safe working conditions; and Whereas, June 17, 1958, the Holocaust in Soledad Ca. when in an illegally converted vehicle being used to transport 50 Braceros, a worker lit a cigarette igniting two gas cans placed beneath benches in the passenger’s compartment; and Whereas, 14 Braceros died as they fought desperately to escape the flames and 17 other Braceros were hospitalized in very critical condition; and Whereas, The driver failed to remove the danger and neglected to inform any of the passengers of the hazard. The National Safety Council considered this fire the worst non-collision vehicle tragedy in the nation; and Whereas, Sept.17, 1963 the Catastrophe at Chualar Ca. the north bound Southern Pacific train at the Thomas Ranch Road & Highway 101 railroad crossing collated with the unregistered vehicle transporting 58 farm workers. The wreckage was everywhere 56 men lay dead or dying. The train stopped 3,050 feet from the point of impact. 32 Braceros were killed and 24 others were seriously injured; and Whereas, Our two nations were in shock. National and State leaders passed Safety laws citing both these two preventable tragedies. National Safety Council called it the biggest fatal vehicle accident in our nation’s history, and Whereas, Braceros helped to feed many nation’s around the world. They sacrificed so much, for so long, for so many, for so little, yet, were segregated from those they helped to feed, while often times they had little for their own table; and Whereas, for 22 years, Braceros strong arms and backs contributed to helping make... The United States of America the Most Powerful Nation in the World. We acknowledge the many forgotten Braceros as proud members of America’s Greatest Generation; and Whereas, it is a long overdue tribute and honor to designate a 16 mile portion of the historic Juan Bautista De Anza National Trail, the famous El Camino Real and the California’s Golden State Highway 101, in the Heart of Steinbeck Country, in the center of the Salad Bowl of the World, between Soledad and Chualar as, “Bracero Memorial Highway” Juan D.

My father, Domingo Ruiz, Sr., was 12 when in 1915 he walked completely alone from San Luiz Potosi, Mexico, then a small village, and now the capital of a state in Mexico by the same name, to San Antonio, Texas. The trip was dangerous from many aspects: There was hardly any infrastructure to speak of at the time, the area was full of bandits robbing the various mines in the region, and the Mexican Revolution was in full force. My father inadvertently went northeast, instead of due north, and had to cross first the treacherous Panuco river that traverses a deep tropical valley at the edge of the plateau on which the state sits, and then the formidable Sierra Madre. He had no money on his journey, and he knew no one in San Antonio when he arrived. My father died in an automobile accident at a relatively young age, but not before leaving a family firmly established in this country.

Although our families had lived in Texas for at least 4 generations, in the summer of 1962 my brother Eduardo and I along with some other cousins went to pick fruit in Michigan due to a sever drought in south Texas. As it turned out when we arrived at the Michigan farm we were provided a place to live next to a Bracero House. I was 15 years old and i remember that the men who lived next door were mostly in the 20's and 30's. Not knowing much of our Texas Mexico history my brother and I found it strange when the Braceros would refer to us as "los vendidos" later i found out how some of our ancestors who were living in south Texas prior to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo were given a year to decide whether to stay in place and become an American or go to Mexico. The way the braceros saw us was that since our ancestors stayed in south Texas we had been sold off along with the land after Mexico was compensated for Texas. Although we never had any altercations with them they did lay it on pretty good all week out in the field with the Vendido stuff especially since our Spanish was not very good (we only spoke Tex-Mex). But when Friday came around and they wanted our help on how to ask for certain things in town we got our revenge, eggs became leggs, bread became fred, coffee became toffee and so on. Eventually we reached an understanding and lived and worked in harmony for the rest of the summer. Looking back I believe that the Braceros we met that summer were honest decent hard working young men who were proud of their country. As far as I am concerned I believe the Bracero Program was a Win Win Program.

Los estudiantes que no dominen el español pueden leer la transcripción en inglés). 2. Haga que los estudiantes impriman la transcripción en inglés y que la lean. Pida a los estudiantes que subrayen con marca textos todas las secciones relacionadas al trabajo del Señor Loza, identificando: Cada estado y pueblo donde él trabajó Los cultivos que él cosechó Las fechas cuando se encontraba en esos lugares. 3. Haga que los estudiantes visiten la página de: National Geographic’s Xpedition Atlas (<a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/atlas/">http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/atlas/</a>) para seleccionar un mapa dónde graficar su investigación. Para un mayor desafío técnico, considere pedirle a los estudiantes que utilicen los mapas personalizados en: Mapas de Google (<a href="http://maps.google.com/">http://maps.google.com/</a>) pasa así poder trazar su investigación electrónicamente. 4. Haga que los estudiantes tracen los lugares donde el Señor Loza trabajó. Para cada lugar, además deberán anotar los cultivos que él cosechó en ese lugar y las fechas que él menciona en relación con ese lugar. 5. Haga que los estudiantes conecten los lugares en sus mapas, indicando la dirección del desplazamiento con flechas. 6. Involucre a los estudiantes en una discusión: <ul> <li>¿Por cuánto tiempo fue Juan Loza un trabajador bracero? ¿Cuál fue el tiempo más largo que pasó en un solo lugar? </li> <li>¿En qué tipo de cultivos trabajó él? </li> <li>¿En cuántos diferentes lugares estuvo él trabajando? ¿Qué impacto piensas tu que tuvo en su vida social y familiar el haber estado trabajando en varios lugares? </li> <li>¿Por qué él no escogió un lugar y permaneció ahí? </li> </ul> Pida a los estudiantes que expresen algunos de los pensamientos que él pudo haber tenido sobre los lugares donde trabajó. ¿Cómo pudo él haber comparado los diferentes lugares? ¿Cómo pudo él haber respondido emocionalmente ante la índole nómada de su trabajo? Para estudiantes con conocimientos históricos acerca del Programa Bracero, juzgue si Juan estaba mejor trabajando como bracero en Estados Unidos o quedándose en su tierra natal. <a href="../../../EvalBraceroroute-sp.pdf" target="_blank">Evaluacion:</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Every summer the braceros would magically appear, working in the agricultural fields surrounding our tiny town of Somis. They would stay for a few months and then just as magically disappear – headed north, we heard. I was curious about them, and to be honest a little afraid of them. They seemed rough and tough and free, quite unlike anyone else I had ever seen. The summer after my freshman year in high school I was able to get a job working in the fields. I was the only “gringo” kid in the crew and, although I could work almost as hard and as long as the braceros, the fact that I could speak Spanish really made a difference. I was invited to join them for lunch and for their morning and afternoon “taco breaks”, and they taught me words that were much more colorful than those I learned in Spanish class. I had asthma as a kid and one day I came to work after a particularly difficult bout, still having difficulty breathing. I knew that if I worked in the sun for a few hours I would probably be OK, but I wasn’t sure I could make it. We were all supposed to work our way down the field rows at the same pace, and if you fell behind or were seen helping someone else you could find yourself in a lot of trouble. The field boss was in a particularly foul mood that day, which only made matters worse. I began to fall behind and was growing really worried when the bracero in the row to my left began stealthily working my row in addition to his own. Then the one to my right began doing the same thing. Neither of them said a word, but both of them were risking the wrath of the field boss just to help me. We worked this way for about two hours until I was able to handle it myself. I have never forgotten those acts of kindness or the generosity of spirit they showed. They demonstrated in a very personal way the real purpose of the bracero program, extending an arm to help a neighbor.
