Video links for tomorrow's presentation

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all having a great Sunday night! I just wanted to post links to two videos which I will be showing clips from as part of my presentation tomorrow. Since we will watch portions in class, there is no need to watch them beforehand, unless you wanted to watch the whole things. They are both great resources so I encourage you to do so!

The first video is just a great overview of the different issues that migrant farm workers in the United States, specifically children, face.

The other is a video produced by a non-profit based here in Kalamazoo, called Welcoming Michigan. The aim of the video as a whole is to educate native-born Michiganders about the struggles of migrant workers, the marginalization they face, and their contribution to the local economy. The video is long, but there is a portion which does a good job of explaining the conditions they endure.

Thanks everyone and see you in class tomorrow!
