This 1946 18 x 13 cm black and white glossy photo is of four Mexican immigrants, crew leaders of farm workers, who are wearing sombreros native to the area they are from, having arrived by special train along with nearly 700 others in Denver, Colorado to work mostly in the beet fields. A total of 4,500 farm workers were to arrive from Mexico in Spring, 1945 to work the fields in Colorado. This photo was taken by a photographer from the Denver Post.
