From the 60 Minutes Archive: The Cane Curtain

[@653Nottingham]

In the 60's, my Dad and Uncle worked the sugar cane fields in Palm Beach county Florida. By the start of the 70's both families were living in Fort Lauderdale. As a child I didn't know how bad it was, how we were. But my Dad and Uncle carried us through it and made it so we didn't have to suffer. Thank you Dad Thank you Unc 👏👏👏

I am so glad I found this 60 minutes episode. That is so sad.

[@patpeters6331]

It would be interesting to have 60 Minutes do an update of this story in 2021. Wonder what, if anything, has changed.

[@fascinatinglist9654]

probably undocumented migrant workers working the fields and living in decrepit conditions

We need an update on this story. Please 60 minutes.

[@Sagenmrr]

The story is not about migrant workers, it's about Black American farm workers who have worked that sugar land for generations.

[@cortezyvonne]

That one land owner is cold hearted af! I hope his family looked back at this and told him he was disgusting. I know i would.

[@Beautiful-Sickening-Rolex]

he was operating at break even or a loss - what was he supposed to do?

Thank you. This memory will never erase from their mind. One day, they will be free indeed.

I grew up in Appalachia and the coal mines did the same thing to miners. It’s always the almighty dollar in America.

[@michaelvickers89]

And here we are thinking we got it bad!! I could not imagine working in a field all day long for a couple dollars a day! 😢

[@pretense101]

I can only wish slavery never was so sad for those that had to endure something like this !

Heres a great example of why Karma doesn't really exist. If it did exist who should get a taste of it ? Yeah.....exactly.. We psyc ourselves into Karma. But the people who should be getting it never even think of karma.

[@billrusk6354]

This is so sad to see. The video was from the 70s though right? Has anything changed since the 70s?

[@zacscalafini6545]

The inside of that old women’s “house” was just dreadful. She’s living near the 1980’s like it’s the 1880’s. No indoor plumbing, no electricity assuming. What this story centers in is free association, as in, people have the right to see other people, such as workers and union organizers. Along with false generosity. How is it “generous “ to demean that old women into living practically in a different century, no pension. What would be generous is to set up a monthly stipend and get her a little apartment in town that’s actually modern, or modern in 1978. What I’m seeing is almost a parallel between the sugar cane field system and the system against Amazon workers. They way Amazon violates free association and union busts has some similarities to what the cane processing companies did. I have no sought that if they wouldn’t get much blowback, Amazon would set up worker housing, and pay them in an Amazon currency only good at Amazon.

[@kilershakazulu400]

That’s why we need reparations for black Americans who built America.

[@chopperchopper1418]

N the same for americans that were pow's doing forced labor for Japancar companies that sell millioners of cars in the usa, an Chucky Keating who donated money to Jessie Jackson when he ran for president so hoping his group could stay in charge of Hud housing.
