Cultivating Change

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 brought thousands of immigrants, Chicanos and other Hispanic community members to the area to work in farm fields. In the 1960s, workers in northern Colorado stood up for the rights of Hispano laborers.
