Description
Black and white photograph of Sadie Cordero and her three children, a daughter and two sons, picking grapes in Salinas, California. Some Mexican American families in California would go pick various California produce in the Summer and Fall. Some picked apricots in Hemet, walnuts in Concord, stone fruit in Fairfield, and other crops. For many, following the crops was a matter of survival in the absense of local, full-time, year-round work. Families would spend summers and the early fall months harvesting crops throughout California and other parts of the West.
