Lorena Cassady Photographic Art
These are some of my favorite portraits of Mexican mothers in my morning class in Salinas, California. Many were farmworkers themselves, some were married to farmworkers (who I taught in my evening class) and all were dedicated students that I adored. I can't count how many pots of pozole we consumed celebrating all the birthdays! We lived in a town that has a high cancer rate from pesticides, and the rate of prostate and breast cancer was significantly higher than in other California towns. For this, and for their hard work and determination to better themselves and give opportunities to their children, I express my gratitude and affection. And THIS woman in particular, more educated than the rest, became essentially my assistant teacher in the classroom.
