Thanks for this interesting article about migrant workers in contemporary Bay County. Just a few quick corrections. Leonard Jackson's award-winning expose on the conditions of migrant workers was published in 1950, not 1940. Also, he wrote solely about Puerto Ricans, who had been flown in for that summer only, and whose vociferous protests to their own government in the Caribbean sparked the interest of liberal church and labor groups in Michigan. He unfortunately, like most other reform advocates of the day, ignored the plight of Mexicans and Texans of Mexican descent, who were suffering the same conditions as the Puerto Ricans, and had been for decades. His work was laudable, it unfortunately set other exploited folks up for further marginalization!
