Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program 1942-1964 Exhibit Reception

Please join the Gallery Committee on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025 from 4:30-6pm in the Mari Michener Gallery for the reception for the Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program 1942-1964 exhibit. This exhibit explores the history of the Bracero Program, which offered Mexican men short-labor contracts to work in agricultural fields and in the railroad industry. Operated from 1942-1964, over 5 million workers came to the U.S. — the largest foreign worker program in U.S. history.
This exhibit is made possible thanks to the Greeley History Museum and the Smithsonian Institution.
