Legacy of Shame: Migrant Labor, an American Institution

In this program—a follow-up to the alarming 1960 broadcast Harvest of Shame, which first awakened the nation to the plight of migrant workers—correspondents Dan Rather and Randall Pinkston document the ongoing exploitation of America’s invisible laborers while highlighting efforts being made to protect them. Topics of investigation include pesticide risks, the uneven enforcement of employment and immigration regulations, and peonage, as well as the efforts of rural legal services and progressive growers to advocate for this silent minority and provide equitable employment opportunities. Produced by CBS NEWS. (48 minutes)
