(see times)
The Emerald Tablet hosts a special evening spotlighting the Spanish immigrant community of Monterey who worked on Cannery Row.
Nicole Henares, who is writing her MFA thesis on the topic, presents
labor activist Michael Muñoz, who will screen his short film The Spanish Pruners Strike 1932. The strike was the first by agricultural workers in California and led to the formation of the United Farm Workers. Muñoz will also read from his biography, Change From Within.
A descendant of eight-thousand Spaniards who came from Spain to the Hawaiian Islands and then on to California during the early 20th century, Muñoz sits as Chairman of the Archie Green Fund for Labor Culture and on the Advisory Board of the Labor Archives at San Francisco State University. He is the Retired Director of Organizing for the Northern California Carpenters Regional Council and a thirty-eight year member of Pile Drivers Local 34.
