Year of the Child. 1979. Hidalgo, Texas
...at lunch time, beside large trucks or old pickups or cars, they
sit down to eat and look at the children again. They grab their child's hands between their own trying
to rub the soreness out of the young fingers. On occasion, a blister breaks on someone too young to be
out in the fields and the fathers walk away for a few seconds to be by themselves while women, watching
the scene closely, move in to help the child with bleeding hands.
