About the event
Beets, Brazos, and Bayonets: Sugar and Labor in Colorado by Dr. Derek Everett, Colorado native, professor and author. Colorado's beet sugar industry thrived even in the Great Depression. It depended upon migrant labor, but when Colorado's governor tried to remove non-Coloradans from jobs in that prosperous industry, he discovered the difference between political rhetoric and practical reality. Doors open at 6:00 pm with the program starting promptly at 6:30. All programs are free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated.
