Description
In this short episode of Talking Hoosier History, we’ll discuss the Mexican bracero workers who came to Indiana during WWII, how Hoosiers welcomed them (or didn’t), and how the braceros helped the U.S. meet wartime agricultural needs. We’ll also get a glimpse of how the Bracero Program established immigration patterns that remain relevant today.
Written and produced by Jill Weiss Simins. Performed by Justin Clark. A transcript of this episode is available at the THH website: https://podcast.history.in.gov/. Notes and sources: https://blog.history.in.gov/braceros-in-the-corn-belt-part-two/.
