Daniel Martinez Martinez Mexican-American Migrant Planada San Gabriel Valley Thesis Document A resource containing textual data. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre text. Text Any textual data included in the document. I am now 56 years old, and although my memories are a little sketchy, I have very pleasant memories of the Limoneira in Ventura. My father was a Brazero, he started out picking lemons and became a Foreman under Mr. Jenkins. My father went by the nickname "Goyo", his real name was Gregorio Perez (Rodriguez). He was the first of his family to come from Mexico as part of the guest worker program, eventually bringing his 3 brothers (Alfredo, Daniel and Mauro) with him. My father died in 1962 at the age of 42, he was a hard working man and I miss him. I am interested in learning more about his life and if someone reading this story recognizes his name or this story, I would love to hear from you. The title, by the way, is from the memories of waking in the wee hours of the morning in the "2nd house" where we all slept in a baracks type setting, to a loud horn and the stirring of vehicles and workers lighting the oil pots to warm the lemon groves. I am proud to be the son of a migrant farm worker, and I hope to hear from you.

Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre text. Text Any textual data included in the document. I grew up in Ventura County, California in the 1960s. Every summer the braceros would magically appear, working in the agricultural fields surrounding our tiny town of Somis. They would stay for a few months and then just as magically disappear – headed north, we heard. I was curious about them, and to be honest a little afraid of them. They seemed rough and tough and free, quite unlike anyone else I had ever seen. The summer after my freshman year in high school I was able to get a job working in the fields. I was the only “gringo” kid in the crew and, although I could work almost as hard and as long as the braceros, the fact that I could speak Spanish really made a difference. I was invited to join them for lunch and for their morning and afternoon “taco breaks”, and they taught me words that were much more colorful than those I learned in Spanish class. I had asthma as a kid and one day I came to work after a particularly difficult bout, still having difficulty breathing. I knew that if I worked in the sun for a few hours I would probably be OK, but I wasn’t sure I could make it. We were all supposed to work our way down the field rows at the same pace, and if you fell behind or were seen helping someone else you could find yourself in a lot of trouble. The field boss was in a particularly foul mood that day, which only made matters worse. I began to fall behind and was growing really worried when the bracero in the row to my left began stealthily working my row in addition to his own. Then the one to my right began doing the same thing. Neither of them said a word, but both of them were risking the wrath of the field boss just to help me. We worked this way for about two hours until I was able to handle it myself. I have never forgotten those acts of kindness or the generosity of spirit they showed. They demonstrated in a very personal way the real purpose of the bracero program, extending an arm to help a neighbor.

Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre text. Text Any textual data included in the document. I was born on January 23rd 1947 in Pomona California. As far back as I can remember my father was a Farm Labor Foreman. He had a 1947 red ford truck with a cabin in the back to transport the workers. Most of the time he would pick them up in Irwindale, California, but sometimes at the camp in Pomona or Upland California. As time went on he bought a 1956 Chevrolet truck and later a 1965 Chevrolet truck. Each time the cabin in the back got larger. My father would leave our house in San Dimas, Califorina at about 4:30 a.m. each morning, usually 7 days a week. My mother would gut up earlier to make him breakfast, and lunch which consisted of burritosn and were packed in a Thermos lunchbox. As kids my older brother and I would go with him on Saturdays and pick Oranges, Lemons, Tomatoes, Cucumbert, Peas, Grapefruit, or whatever was in season. Each Noverber we would go to Porterville, California, for the Orange season. This lasted until about 1965 when the program ended. I still have many pictures of my father in groves with the Braceros, and of his trucks.

Forty-five years, maybe – if you’ll accept that my education started as a dream, of my dad, well before I was born. In my wallet I carry a black and white photograph of us. The snapshot, taken after a rain, captures a dreary day in Castanos, Coahuila, Mejico, 1952. As I stand on a table of rough wood, wearing a baggy diaper, our white adobe home behind us, the picture speaks to me of his vision. In 1945, encouraged by the Mexico-U.S. Bracero Program, dad left home to change our lives. It would not be easy. Trials awaited him. In his first test, needing a Mexican labor contractor to hire him, my dad failed. The enganchador judged his hands too soft for the needs of American farmers. This did not deter him. Despite the dangers, without knowing English, he pursued his vision anyway. Sixteen years later, on a snowy February 22, 1960, in a letter signed by former U.S. Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen, America officially greeted Ireneo Gomez Saldana. In our photo, as he stands behind me, his right hand cupping my waist, I see my dad in the maturity of his manhood. He is lean. He is strong. In his wry, diminutive smile I see the joy he would’ve expressed had he lived to know I graduated. He valued education. He built our lives on it. I recall one wintry night, in Chicago, how my mother nervously thread about him. Occasionally she wrung her hands. My three sisters, older and smarter than me, remained in their room – as my dad, quietly weeping at our dining room table, tried to still his fears. Propped on elbows, his head held in his hands, my dad stared at a book lying open before him. It was a trade manual. The first of many that he would need to study, the book was part of a correspondence course on radio and television repair. Injured, having lost his job as a punch press operator with the Burton-Dixie Corporation, my dad sought a new job. I asked my mother why he cried. She said he couldn’t read English. It’s the only time I ever saw him weep. On December 11, 1990, while sitting on the steps of Flowers Hall at Southwest Texas State University, on a rosy winter day I celebrated my graduation with him. I looked at our photo. In the way that he holds me – facing out, as if presenting me to the future – I couldn’t help wonder if he wasn’t showing me to myself, suspecting, perhaps, that I’d see this moment one day, and I would recognize just how much he had laid out for me. I do. I did. As I gazed across the campus, knowing that I’d benefited from his dream, the university’s tower clock happened to toll. It was three. And it was special. In the bells’ resonance – traveling across space and time, I imagined – I believed that he heard the same victorious chime. And it felt good. I understood what he'd given me. I’d inherited an American story. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In 1982 or 1983, my husband and then son-in-law tore down a small building that had housed Bracero workers for Stern Gin in Cotton Center, Texas. They saved the boards comprising one wall because someone had painted religious pictures on it. There was a Virgin Mary and several other symbolic icons that are definitly done in the style seen in churches in Mexico. They were done with paint normally used to paint houses, not from an artist's pallet. They are about 8'x6"x1" tongue and groove; there are 8 boards, which when put together, form the pictures. We still have those pieces of wood and would contrubute them to your program.

Mexico joined The Allied Forces against tyranny and oppression around the world; and Whereas, The United States and Mexico initiated The Bracero Program in 1942 to 1964, and for 22 years, 4.5 million skilled laborers worked on America’s dams, railways, roadways, assembly plants, mines and help to developed America’s agricultural lands, many joined the U.S. military; and Whereas, Braceros helped to feed and nourish The Allied Forces during the War and the Reconstruction that followed, lifting many nations from rubble and raising the standard of living for millions around the world; and Whereas, the following two tragic and preventable accidents illustrate the callous negligence and disregard for safe working conditions; and Whereas, June 17, 1958, the Holocaust in Soledad Ca. when in an illegally converted vehicle being used to transport 50 Braceros, a worker lit a cigarette igniting two gas cans placed beneath benches in the passenger’s compartment; and Whereas, 14 Braceros died as they fought desperately to escape the flames and 17 other Braceros were hospitalized in very critical condition; and Whereas, The driver failed to remove the danger and neglected to inform any of the passengers of the hazard. The National Safety Council considered this fire the worst non-collision vehicle tragedy in the nation; and Whereas, Sept.17, 1963 the Catastrophe at Chualar Ca. the north bound Southern Pacific train at the Thomas Ranch Road & Highway 101 railroad crossing collated with the unregistered vehicle transporting 58 farm workers. The wreckage was everywhere 56 men lay dead or dying. The train stopped 3,050 feet from the point of impact. 32 Braceros were killed and 24 others were seriously injured; and Whereas, Our two nations were in shock. National and State leaders passed Safety laws citing both these two preventable tragedies. National Safety Council called it the biggest fatal vehicle accident in our nation’s history, and Whereas, Braceros helped to feed many nation’s around the world. They sacrificed so much, for so long, for so many, for so little, yet, were segregated from those they helped to feed, while often times they had little for their own table; and Whereas, for 22 years, Braceros strong arms and backs contributed to helping make... The United States of America the Most Powerful Nation in the World. We acknowledge the many forgotten Braceros as proud members of America’s Greatest Generation; and Whereas, it is a long overdue tribute and honor to designate a 16 mile portion of the historic Juan Bautista De Anza National Trail, the famous El Camino Real and the California’s Golden State Highway 101, in the Heart of Steinbeck Country, in the center of the Salad Bowl of the World, between Soledad and Chualar as, “Bracero Memorial Highway” Juan D.

Although our families had lived in Texas for at least 4 generations, in the summer of 1962 my brother Eduardo and I along with some other cousins went to pick fruit in Michigan due to a sever drought in south Texas. As it turned out when we arrived at the Michigan farm we were provided a place to live next to a Bracero House. I was 15 years old and i remember that the men who lived next door were mostly in the 20's and 30's. Not knowing much of our Texas Mexico history my brother and I found it strange when the Braceros would refer to us as "los vendidos" later i found out how some of our ancestors who were living in south Texas prior to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo were given a year to decide whether to stay in place and become an American or go to Mexico. The way the braceros saw us was that since our ancestors stayed in south Texas we had been sold off along with the land after Mexico was compensated for Texas. Although we never had any altercations with them they did lay it on pretty good all week out in the field with the Vendido stuff especially since our Spanish was not very good (we only spoke Tex-Mex). But when Friday came around and they wanted our help on how to ask for certain things in town we got our revenge, eggs became leggs, bread became fred, coffee became toffee and so on. Eventually we reached an understanding and lived and worked in harmony for the rest of the summer. Looking back I believe that the Braceros we met that summer were honest decent hard working young men who were proud of their country. As far as I am concerned I believe the Bracero Program was a Win Win Program.

I a son of a California farmer--in Chula Vista, CA (Otay Valley) we had a Bracero "camp" of about 40-50 Mexican workers for several years . I was born in 1948--after my family was released from Poston internment camp since we were detained as Japanese Americans. Memories were that as a kid--I woud run down to the camp during lunch to get burritos from the workers--the workers seem to love to share their food. Years and Years late--1990's---I was working as a lobbyist in Sacramento....I had the opportunity to meet new members of the California State Assembly. I had a meeting to meet a new member from Chula Vista--Juan Vargas a young Harvard trained new elected Legislator. During our meet and greet--Juan told me that his dad came to California as a Bracero working with a farmer named Takashima. I told him that farmer was my dad.

My father was born in Colfax, California, my mother was born in Oxnard, California. My mother's siblings and parents worked in Oxnard, Santa Paula, Fillmore and Saticoy, Ventura County. I remember my mother telling me her stories of how they lived and worked in the fields and living in labor camps. The only time they lived in an actual tent was in Tulare County near a river where the family was working for a dairy farmer. After following the harvest for many years the family settled and bought their first home in Fowler, and Sanger Fresno county, California. My father Raul lived most of his young life in Juares, Mexico...at the age of 15 he came back to the U.S. and started to work in the fields in Fresno County. Whenever the "Migra" would come in the fields looking for Mexicans without proper papers to work, my father wouldn't run because he was an American...but because he spoke no English and couldn't explain where he was born he was deported twice back to Mexico. After the last deportation he sent for his birth certificate and used everyday after that. My mother's name is Ruth Tillie Mendez Married Raul Gonzales Martinez... Her parents names are Ysabel Aguilar Mendez and Nicolasa Castillo married in San Pedro, California in 1923. Their children's names are: Ruben, Elvira, Eva, John, Ruth, Marylou, Ysabel Jr, Belen, Nicolas, David and MaryHelen all Mendez. In 1980 my mother asked me to start writing some information on paper of her life growing up poor and working in the fields. If anyone has heard these names before in the camps of Ventura County please contact me by my email HOBBS2575@comcast.net Thank you....
