A Baha’i Perspective 04.14.2007

April 16th, 2007 Posted by Warren Odess-Gillett

Warren Odess-Gillett interviews Beatriz Fereira. An incredible story of a woman, from a Mexican-American migrant farm-working family; traveling from place to place, season to season, picking crops with her family until she was 19. From these roots, Beatriz Ferreira becomes a lawyer defending the rights of those in circumstances from which she grew up. I started the interview by asking Beatriz to describe what it was like growing up as a migrant farmer. I apologize for the sound quality of the interview; the phone connection was not very good.
