MIGRANT LABOR FILES,, 1932(1945)-1966

Summary: Documentation of Dyckman's work towards improving living and working conditions of migrant laborers, especially children. Included are articles and press clippings, booklets, studies and reports, as well as correspondence, meeting notes and conference records. Dates appearing on folders often overlap.

Of note in this series are the statements of New Jersey Senator Harrison A. Williams, Jr., and the New Jersey Farm Bureau at a 1959 Senate Public Hearing on Farm Labor, as well as Dyckman's notes on this event. Also interesting is the public's and Dyckman's own response to "The Forgotten People" (1959) and "Harvest of Shame" (1960), a report and a documentary both concerning the deprivations faced by migrant laborers. Included with materials about "The Forgotten People" is a photograph of a dwelling on a farm in Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey, which was used in "The Forgotten People."
