This collection consists of photographic materials by Ernest Lowe, who documented farmworker communities in the San Joaquin Valley and Salinas Valley between 1960 and 1966 while working for the KPFA-FM radio station. His subjects include field and orchard work, farm worker communities and camps, family life, portraits, agribusiness infrastructure, and early unionization by Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) and the National Farm Workers Association/United Farm Workers. Lowe returned to the San Joaquin Valley in 2015 to photograph the African-American communities he had documented in the 1960s. The collection includes contact sheets, prints, slides, negatives from 1960-1966 and digital images, videos, and interviews of residents of Teviston and South Dos Palos recorded in 2015.
