Biography
Ernesto Galarza was born in Jalcocotan in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, in 1905. In 1910, Ernesto, his mother, and two
maternal uncles left their village to find employment and escape the depredations during the Madero Revolt. They spent
three years traveling northward before settling in Sacramento, California. During their journey, they spent one year in
Mazatlan, Sinaloa, where Galarza began his formal schooling in 1911. Although his mother and one uncle died in an

influenza epidemic when Ernesto was only twelve, his other uncle made it possible for him to continue his education. He
soon became fluent in English, and took part-time and summer jobs as a messenger, drug store clerk, court interpreter, and
field and cannery worker. Following graduation from high school, Galarza entered Occidental College in Los Angeles on
scholarship in 1923. He was a member of the debate team, wrote for the school newspaper, did field work in Mexico during
his senior year, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
A year after his graduation in 1927, Galarza received a fellowship to study Latin American history and political science at
Stanford University. While at Stanford, he married Mae Taylor, a Sacramento teacher. He received the M.A. in 1929, having
written a thesis entitled Mexico and the World War (available in the Green Library stacks, and in the Stanford University
Archives). He then entered Columbia University to begin a doctoral program in Latin American history.
In the early 1930s, the Galarzas established the Year-Long School, an experimental elementary program on Long Island
where students spent the summer working on a farm. He continued to teach, lecture, and write and do research on Latin
America for the Foreign Policy Association in New York.
A fellowship enabled him to do field work and write his dissertation, La industria electrica en Mexico (Mexico City: Fondo de
Cultura Economica, 1941). He obtained a Ph.D. from Columbia in 1944. Galarza spent nearly eleven years in Washington,
D.C., first as research associate in education, and then as Chief of the Division of Labor and Social Information at the
Pan-American Union. He was particularly interested in the living conditions of Mexican contract workers, the braceros who
first came to the United States on a war-time emergency basis in 1942. By July, 1945, more than 58,000 braceros were
working in agriculture, and almost 62,000 were on railroad crews. Galarza traveled to bracero camps and worked to
publicize and correct conditions and abuses.
He also was employed by the Bolivian government as a consultant on labor and economic conditions; he later published his
findings in The Case of Bolivia (Washington, D.C.: Pan American Union, Inter-American Reports, 1949). He wrote and edited
a number of titles in the Inter-American Reports and the Latin America for Young Readers series, published by the
Pan-American Union. Galarza left his post with the Pan-American Union in 1947 to become the Director of Research and
Education in California for the Southern Tenant Farmer's Union (STFU). The STFU's membership included black and white
tenant farmers and agricultural laborers striving for better wages, better working conditions, and more favorable legislation
for small-scale farm workers.
Galarza's command of Spanish and personal experience in Sacramento Valley orchards and packing houses made him a
valuable asset to the organization, renamed the National Farm Labor Union in 1947. He soon became involved in the
union's strike against the DiGiorgio Fruit Corporation, begun in November, 1947 under the direction of Hank Hasiwar. The
strike for higher wages, one of the earliest and longest in the history of the San Joaquin Valley, lasted for thirty months
before the easy availibility of bracero labor and congressional pressure forced the union to back down. Bitter feelings
persisted on both sides; Galarza and the union were entangled in libel suits and countersuits with DiGiorgio for more than
fifteen years. (see Boxes 35-43). Galarza and the union were involved in some twenty strikes in the South and the West
between 1948 and 1959. Galarza realized the futility of strike actions as long as a large and inexpensive pool of braceros
was readily available, either "on loan" from grower to grower, or hurriedly imported from Mexico.
In 1974, he recalled his strategy: One, we had to bring about the termination of the bracero program. We figured it would
take us ten years and it did. Our view was that when that was accomplished that we next would have to undertake a similar
campaign to bring to the attention of the country and to bring about legislation concerning the wetbacks. Our view was not
to exclude the wetbacks. Our view was that the so-called wetback is a product of the social and political conditions of
Mexico; and consequently we favored a campaign of publicity, confrontation, documentation, protest and so on that would
zero in not on the wetback as a person, but on the Mexican government and its policy in Mexico that created such terrible
poverty conditions that the wetback was a natural product of this burgeoning Mexican capitalism. That was our pitch.
Maybe that would take us ten years and at the end of that ten year stretch we then thought that we could begin organizing
farmworkers. Maybe fortunately or unfortunately, I don't know, that strategy of the union was cut off halfway. We never got
to the wetback issue, not really. That brings us to 1960 and the union went down the drain. (Morris, Gabrielle. The Burning
Light: Action and Organizing in the Mexican Community in California [Berkeley: Regional Oral History Office, 1982])
As the again renamed National Agricultural Workers Union's finances, support, and staffing declined, the AFL-CIO launched
the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee with Norman Smith as its head. During 1959, Galarza served as a field
organizer for AWOC, but jurisdictional disputes among the AFL-CIO leadership and philosophical differences between
Galarza and Smith soon led to a parting of the ways. (see Series III) Fearing that the AFL-CIO chiefs would preemptorily
order NAWU to relinquish its charter and merge with either the AWOC or the United Packinghouse Workers of America,
NAWU president H.L. Mitchell convinced the membership to vote in favor of a merger with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butchers Workmen.

Galarza was soon dissatisfied with the arrangement and left Amalgamated in 1960. The decade of the 1960s found Galarza
dividing his time between agricultural labor issues and the concerns of a growing, urban Mexican American population. His
book Merchants of Labor, a detailed critique of the fading bracero program, was published in 1964. Congressman Adam
Clayton Powell, Chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, appointed him chief labor counsel in an
investigation into the collision of an overloaded bus and a train in Chualar, California on September 17, 1963, in which
thirty-two Mexican nationals were killed. Galarza's report, reissued in 1977 as Tragedy at Chualar: El crucero de las treinta
y dos cruces, was a scathing indictment of the safety violations so prevalent in the transport of braceros. (See Series IV)
In the mid-1960s, Galarza was a program analyst for the Economic and Youth Opportunities Agency in Los Angeles. With
Herman Gallegos, he served as a consultant to the Ford Foundation on the needs of Mexican Americans, the results of
which were later published as Mexican-Americans in the Southwest. The authors provided an assessment of the
educational, political, economic and demographic status of what was then the nation's second-largest minority group.
Galarza and Gallegos also reviewed grant proposals submitted to the Ford Foundation by Mexican American groups, one of
which led to the establishment of the Southwest Council of La Raza in Phoenix.
Increasing recognition of Galarza as one of the country's leading Mexican American intellectuals and activists brought new
commitments. He was elected Chairman of La Raza Unida Unity Conference at its organizational meeting in 1967. La Raza
Unida began as a loose confederation of Hispanic civic, social, and cultural groups, whose representatives were in El Paso
to attend hearings of the Cabinet Committee on Mexican American Affairs. By the time the second major conference took
place in San Antonio in January, 1968, La Raza Unida chapters were being organized throughout the United States. During
the late 1960s and early 1970s, Galarza also served on the Board of Directors of the Mexican American Legal Defense and
Educational Fund (MALDEF), a nationally prominent public interest legal organization. The majority of his time, however,
was devoted to teaching and writing. He immersed himself in theories of and strategies for bicultural education.
In 1971, he founded the Studio Laboratory for Bilingual Education, a resource center for students and faculty of the San
Jose Unified School District. The Studio Lab stressed a hands-on approach to the teaching of cultural values, nature, and the
creative arts. During this time he wrote poems and short stories for use in bilingual classrooms, as well as his
autobiography Barrio Boy.
Galarza's teaching excellence earned him several honorary positions, including Distinguished Visiting Professor at San Jose
State University, Visiting Professor of Community Development at the University of California, San Diego, Honorary Fellow
at U.C. Santa Cruz, and Associate in Mexican American Problems, Harvard Graduate School. Galarza's final book on
agriculture, Farm Workers and Agri-business in California, 1947-1960, is a scholarly, personal account of NFLU/NAWU's
campaign to organize domestic farm workers, negotiate with agri-business and government officials, repeal pro-bracero
legislation, and stem the tide of undocumented workers. (See Box 1, folders 10-12; Box 2, folders 1-5.) In 1971, Galarza
received the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from his alma mater, Occidental College. In 1979, Galarza's name
was submitted to the Swedish Academy for consideration for the Nobel Prize in Literature. He was the recipient of the
Friends of VISTA Award for Exceptional Service and Work to End Poverty in 1980. Ernesto Galarza died in his San Jose home
on June 22, 1984.
Scope and Content of Collection
The Galarza Papers reflect the multi-faceted career of activist scholar Ernesto Galarza. The thirty-two linear feet of papers
consist of correspondence, reports, minutes, legal documents, notes, newsletters, press releases, newsclippings, statistical
information, questionnaires, and photographs dating from 1923 to 1984. The collection is divided into five series: Personal
and Biographical Information; Writings of Ernesto Galarza; Organizational Files; Subject Files; and Photographs/Graphic
Materials.
The Galarza Papers are particularly rich in information about Mexican and Mexican American farm workers in California
from 1948 to 1960. As research director and organizer for the National Agricultural Workers Union during those years,
Galarza gathered data and wrote extensively about the living and working conditions of migrant farm workers. Other
subject strengths include the development of the National Agricultural Workers Union, other farm labor groups, and
non-agricultural organizations, such as El Congreso del Pueblo de Habla Espanola and La Raza Unida. A myriad of other
issues are represented in the collection, including employment, bilingual education, immigration, discrimination, poverty
programs, and Mexican American culture.

Series 3Organizational files, 1935-1974
Subseries A: Agricultural Labor
Series 3 Organizational files, 1935-1974
Scope and Content Note
The third series is divided into sections on agricultural and non-agricultural organizations.
Both sub-sections are arranged alphabetically by the name of the organization. The
organizational files pertaining to agriculture consist largely of records resulting from
Galarza's work with the Pan-American Union, the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, the
National Agricultural Workers Union, and the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee.
Papers from Galarza's tenure at the Pan-American Union (1936-1947) are scanty, since he
apparently brought with him to California only records on bracero conditions and policies
which might be of use to him there. The Pan-American Union (now known as the
Organization of American States) is made up of representatives of American countries and
seeks to promote cooperation in foreign trade, finance, agriculture, travel, intellectual and
cultural exchange. Galarza's correspondence, statements and reports while Chief of the
Division of Labor and Social Information demonstrate his efforts to monitor the Mexican
contract labor system from its earliest years, when the majority of braceros worked on
railroads in the eastern and midwestern United States. Also contained in this sub-series are
records of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, National Farm Labor Union, and National
Agricultural Workers Union (consolidated into a single file unit, as they are different names
for the same union at various stages of its development). The STFU, founded by H.L. Mitchell
and Clay East in Tyronza, Arkansas in 1934, was unique in its biracial membership and was
one of the first unions to attempt to organize farm labor. The collection includes annual
reports and convention proceedings, newsletters and miscellany from the mid-1930s
through the mid-1940s. (The records of the STFU are housed at the University of North
Carolina Library's Southern Historical Collection. A microfilm of the collection and a printed
guide are available in the Microtext Room, Green Library.) The STFU arrived in California in
1947 at the urging of dust bowl migrants who had settled in the San Joaquin Valley and
promptly changed its name to the National Farm Labor Union. Membership was open to all
who worked on the land, with collective bargaining to improve wages and working conditions
the organization's goal. Galarza joined NFLU in 1948, and the nearly two linear feet of
correspondence, notes, reports, flyers and newsletters attest to his rigorous work schedule.
By the mid-1950s, he was NAWU's sole representative in California. Among the most
revealing documents are Galarza's emotionally-charged correspondence with NAWU
president Mitchell and the annual reports, statements, and minutes which demonstrate how
union policy was formulated. NAWU merged with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butchers Workmen on August 2, 1960. The NAWU-Amalgamated merger negotiations papers
reflect H.L. Mitchell's and Galarza's distrust of AFL-CIO leadership. Post-merger
correspondence and reports are limited, as Mitchell remained with Amalgamated and
Galarza resigned a few months later. The Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee,
established by the AFL-CIO in 1959, at first complemented the National Agricultural Workers
Union's organizing efforts, but gradually began to siphon off NAWU members. Committee
records include correspondence between Galarza and AWOC head Norman Smith, flyers,
newsletters, and reports, mostly from 1959-1960. Documentation which pertains to farm
labor organizations which Galarza did not work for is arranged alphabetically in the next
section. These include the Citizens for Farm Labor (1963-1967), the United Farm Workers
(1965-1971), the National Sharecroppers Fund (1947-1962), and the Regional Foreign Labor
Operations Advisory Committee (1954-1960), at whose clandestine meetings growers and
state government officials manipulated the bracero policies as they saw fit. The remainder of
Series III is comprised of records of non-agricultural organizations, including political and
cultural groups in which Galarza took part. Among the early groups represented are the
American Council of Spanish-Speaking People (1951-1953), Community Service Organization
(1949-1967), El Congreso de Pueblos de Habla Espanola (1939), and Mexican-American
Movement, Inc. (1944). Considering the extent of Galarza's involvement in certain of these
groups (he was, for instance, chairman of the National Committee of La Raza Unida, and
served on the board of directors of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational
Fund, Inc.), the records in this sub-section are surprisingly sparse and mostly secondary in
nature.

Papers, 1936-1984

Series 4Subject files, 1923-1978
Subseries A: Agricultural Labor, 1923-1971
Series 4 Subject files, 1923-1978
Scope and Content Note
Galarza's subject files are also divided into agricultural and non-agricultural sub-series. Major
topics within the former include braceros, court cases, crops, the DiGiorgio Fruit Corporation,
and agriculture by geographical location. One of the most important topics documented by
these papers is the bracero labor system, mandated by Public Law 78 (1951), which was
viewed by NAWU as one of the primary obstacles in its attempt to organize domestic farm
labor. The strict provisions of P.L. 78 regarding food, housing, wages and working conditions
proved difficult to enforce, and Galarza gathered all the data he could on grower abuses.
Since the ready availability of bracero labor greatly hampered NAWU's ability to extract
concessions from growers, the union became a leader in the struggle to repeal P.L. 78.
Galarza's bracero files are divided into two categories. The first reflects his investigation into
living and working conditions. Correspondence, reports, interview notes, contracts, and
paystubs were used by him to substantiate his charge that braceros faced systematic
exploitation. The second, more extensive category documents the contract labor policies
and positions of various organizations, including NAWU, the AFL-CIO, and the Joint
U.S.-Mexico Trade Union Committee. The files contain Galarza's correspondence with H.L.
Mitchell concerning NAWU's anti-bracero strategy and his correspondence with labor leaders
such as Frank L. Noakes, an official in the Railroad Workers Union and Director of the
U.S.-Mexico Trade Union Committee. Galarza also collected material on the positions of
Mexican labor unions, the Catholic Church, and growers toward P.L. 78. There is a
considerable amount of material on the state and federal agencies charged with the
administration of the bracero program (for instance, the Bureau of Employment Security of
the U.S. Department of Labor and the Farm Placement Service of the California Department
of Employment). Files on these agencies contain material relating to their operation and
administration. Correspondence between NAWU and the Farm Placement Service, the office
of the governor, and other state agencies is also included. Records pertaining to NAWU's and
Galarza's confrontation with the DiGiorgio Fruit Corporation form a separate unit within the
agriculture-related subject file. These conflicts began with the 1947-1950 strike and
continued into the mid-1960s with suits and countersuits in California courts. After NAWU
merged with Amalgamated in 1960, Galarza and his attorney, James Murray, countersued
DiGiorgio Corporation for libel. Records in the DiGiorgio Fruit Corporation and DiGiorgio Fruit
Corporation--Court Cases sections include correspondence, reports, strike bulletins, press
releases, legal documents, notes and newsclippings. An important section under agricultural
labor is Geographical Locations, which includes information gathered by Galarza while
organizing from Yuba and Sutter counties north of Sacramento to Imperial County on the
U.S.-Mexico border. Farm labor topics included in the collection are: crops, employment,
growers, housing, immigration, migrants, "Right-to-Work" legislation (which prohibited the
requirement of union membership as a conditon of employment), and wages. The main
non-agricultural topics in Series IV are education of Mexican Americans and poverty
programs in urban areas. The first focuses on Mexican American studies programs at
colleges and universities and the Studio Laboratory for Bilingual Education, which Galarza
founded and directed for the San Jose Unified School District. The Studio Lab papers reflect
Galarza's philosophy of bilingual education and his concern that the students, faculty and
community have input into the planning process. Galarza disagreed with Olivia Martinez,
director of the San Jose Area Consortium for Bilingual Education, over how bilingual
programs should be implemented and what curriculum materials should be used. After the
Studio Lab was terminated in favor of the Consortium, Galarza started the Community
Organization Monitoring Education as a citizen-watchdog group. In 1965 and 1966, Galarza
was a program analyst for the Economic and Youth Opportunities Agency of Greater Los
Angeles (EYOA). EYOA, a recipient of Community Action Program grants from the federal
Office of Economic Opportunity, screened community group funding proposals and
administered programs. Galarza gathered information on various minority-oriented economic
and educational assistance programs which flourished in Los Angeles and other urban areas
in the mid-1960s.
