After I read this story about the influx of
Negroes and Hispanics in L.A. Country, I was remembering that back when I was a

had to be out of town by sunset if they were working for any families there
doing domestic work. I can’t recall if they ever worked in the lima bean
fields. My 4 brothers did though.
