Remembering the 1966 Starr County Farm Worker Strike
On June 1, 1966, the newly-formed farm workers' union based in Rio Grande City voted to strike for higher wages. Lonn Taylor was there. On this edition of the Rambling Boy Lonn tells us about his role in the strikes, which involved racing buses of strike-breakers down winding roads and surprising picket-line conversations with Starr County Sheriffs.
