MIGRANT FARM WORKERS

Homestead, FL

Back breaking work at very low wages. While most sit in their cushy offices these folks work for little to nothing just to put food on the table at home.

This photo belongs in a magazine like National Geographic titled" Have times changed a all"? A Wonderful capture cindi, very moving.BV

Leave it to you to capture reality....living in FL, I have this picture in front of me many times as I drive certain places....I never cease to stare out at these fields and say a quiet prayer for each of these folks. But most of all, I then thank God for all I have and am so very thankful. Seems "unAmerican" that they work in these conditions for so very little, but at the same time, they feel they are blessed to be here! Captivating picture.

My grandparents came over and did the same thing in the 1920's... eventually were able to buy their own farm... the American Dream is always there, I guess. Tis a great photo Cindi.

Good idea, but I would like to have seen more focus on fewer people and their faces. Also your blacks are blocked. ;-)

Looking at this, I wonder if times have really changed...

Think of these workers when you eat your veggies.
