There has always been such a negative stigma towards those who are fruit pickers, especially because the majority are immigrants.
Back in the 1940's there was a program created called the Bracero Program which allowed American farmers to hire immigrants, mostly from Mexico, to help them with agricultural needs. Of course this was a period where the economy was flowing and people for the most part were happy under FDR's presidency.
Now this video revolutionizes the perspective on fruit pickers and laborers. By bringing a new vision of someone who historically changed the United States and that person is Abraham Lincoln. Although Abe did free the slaves, he was still just a white supremacist who wanted to be rid of Blacks and ship them back to Monrovia, Africa. But Abe's back story is a pretty amazing one. One that is a classic rags to riches to Commander in Chief of the United States of America, that most immigrants and people from a low socioeconomic background are familiar with. This gives hope to the kids who come from backgrounds like these once again giving us hope.
So kids whether you come from rich or poor families white, black or brown, you can do whatever you set your mind to and become a big baller just like Abe Lincoln.
