Oral History Program Interview: James Harvey Lackey
Lackey, born in Hartshorne, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma on January 30, 1914, came to Bakersfield, California in 1936 after working for the CCC. In the late 1930s, he worked for the DiGiorgio company where he experienced no abuse towards "Okies," no strikes, the segregated camps and working positions, and different structures in which farmworkers lived. Lackey also describes the border inspection, government camps, working for the WPA, The Grapes of Wrath as exaggerated but true, and what "Okie" means.
