Salt Of The Earth: Prejudice Against The Mexican-American Workers
Salt Of The Earth
When I saw the cover of this movie I thought that I would not like it at all because it looked like an old movie and I really don't like the black and white style. Watching it surprised me a lot. I was very moved and touched by the actual characters and the moral of the story. Knowing that this was not a fictional movie made it that much harder to not get emotional. There where many issues addressed in this movie with the Mexican-American mine workers.
In this movie they make it clear that there are prejudice against the Mexican-American workers. They want the same pay as the Anglo workers they stated. The Empire Zinc Mine took advantage of these Mexican-American workers just because of prejudice. I still see this going
