Colorado Experience | Cultivating Change

Subscribe to our KZbin channel: bit.ly/3zeF6Ch
A historical look at northern Colorado's development in agriculture and how labor conditions for the Hispanic farmworkers led to El Movimiento of the 1960s. The turn of the 20th century was a time for new industry and a renewed effort to find cheap labor, which brought thousands of immigrants, Chicanos and other Hispanic community members to the area. In the 1960s, workers in northern Colorado stood up for the rights of Hispano laborers through protests and strikes, leading to substantial change.

Why is there a Mexican flag hanging behind you? I am of Mexican heritage but this is now the United States of America. I am proud of my heritage but seriously… this is no longer Mexico! We are Americans and should not be flying Mexican flags!
