"… I am convinced that the readers today are ahead of most of their papers. This spells opportunity to young men and women with the gift of communication and the curiosity and compulsion to tell the many-sided story of the complicated world in which we live." Nelson Poynter, May 4, 1961

Today’s Historical Headline: Farm labor law a blueprint

The California Agricultural Labor Relations Act was signed into law on today’s date in 1975, following protests and activism like the “Salad Bowl” strike, led by the United Farm Workers and Cesar Chavez. The Act extended group bargaining privileges and protections to farm laborers. 

Head to PBS to learn more about Chavez and his work to protect farm workers.
