Review of Commentary: 40 Years Later, UFW's La Causa Lives

The UFW's struggle to win farm worker rights is an important piece of American labor history. Dick Meister gives more of a short history about La Causa, rather than his opinion on the significance of the movement and where it needs to go today. As acknowledged, this piece has not been broadcast nationally. Should it be, it would require some audio editing to eliminate some stumbles and some production values to make it move forward.
