Salt of the Earth tells the history of the 1951 strike against Empire Zinc by Mexican-American mineworkers. This story of the labor movement, Chicano identity, and especially women's rights was so threatening during Hollywood's anti-Communist hysteria that the film was blacklisted and suppressed for years.
Discussion following. Co-sponsored with MSU's Chicano/Latino Studies Program.
