Oklahoma Farmer Leader in Cotton Strike November 1938

A vintage photograph from November 1938 shows a former Oklahoma farmer who became a leader during a significant cotton pickers strike in Kern County, California. The strike arose as workers protested against growers setting a price of seventy-five cents for one hundred pounds of cotton. This image is part of the Farmers Security Administration/Office of War Information collection and serves as a record of labor disputes that shaped agricultural practices in California during the late 1930s.
