In this episode, we are thinking historically with Dr. Lloyd Barba, Assistant Professor of Religion at Amherst College. Dr. Barba helps us think historically about the Delano Grape Strike and more broadly, the Farmworker's Movement. Dr. Barba also provides insights into the role of religion in the Farmworker's Movement and the life of Cesar Chavez.
Thinking Historically About brings history to life. In each episode, expert scholars unpack the essential questions students should be asking as they challenge how we understand the past and its relevance today.
