“Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program, 1942-1964” opens September 9
 This new exhibition examines the bracero program and experiences of workers and their families. The bracero program, a little-known chapter of American and Mexican history, was originally created to fill the labor shortages in agriculture and the railroads caused by World War II. Both bitter and sweet, the bracero experience tells a story of exploitation but also of opportunity.
