Oral History Program Interview: Velma May Cooper Davis

Davis was born in Silverton, Briscoe County, Texas in 1901. She came to Delano, California in August of 1925. Her story is interesting as the perspective of the employer employing farmworkers. Her interview includes seeing people organize farmworkers in McFarland, how the strike caused her family hardship, her family providing tent houses for workers, and why the WPA was a good form of relief.
