This collection contains digitized photographs depicting Brooklyn College’s Farm Labor Project. Students responded to the World War II farm labor shortage by volunteering to spend their summer as farm-workers. During the summers of 1942, '43, and '44, they worked on farms in Upstate New York picking peas and beans.
