When it’s broken —
Change is a choice.
Unrelenting leadership is a choice.
Bravery is a choice.
No excuses.

From a Bakersfield friend —This did not go well with anyone not the farmers not the workers and not the innocent people that were just targeted because they were Hispanic. It was awful and it went on for several days.

“Grapes of Wrath" was labeled "obscene in the extreme" by W.B. Camp, cotton farmer and president of the Associated Farmers of Kern County, a group during the 1930s and 1940s who worked to keep
wages low and labor unorganized.
The book was banned in Kern County.

Raised in Central Valley.
Republican farmers made millions every year since WWII, made sure they got their subsidies and water.
As my dad said, they needed their new Cadillacs every year.

My father too. I will never give up for him or my mother living at 101.
They will not have sacrificed in vain.

Johnny Carson’s:
Let me tell you friends, how do you get there! You take the San Diego Freeway to the Ventura Freeway. You drive to the Slauson Cutoff, get out of your car, cut off your Slauson, get back in your car, then you drive six miles till you see the Giant Neon Vice-Squad Cop.
