The Age of Migrant Workers

What caused the Migration? Stock Market crash of 1929 Farmers lost farms Over-cultivation of lands causing drought People sought better life in California

Why California? Mild climate offered longer farming season

Mental Retardation in 1900’s By 1915, mental retardation had caught public attention as perhaps one of the most significant large-scale social problem of the time. People had frightened and often hostile attitudes toward the mentally challenged in the early 1900s. Throughout most of this period, health care specialists, equipped with scientific data from hereditary studies, employed measures such as sterilization of the retarded and segregated them from the larger population by placing them in institutions. Laws disallowing marriage between mentally retarded people were passed by thirty-nine states.

Mental Retardation in 1900’s (cont’d.) Coupled with widespread sterilization, the laws were designed to limit the population of the mentally retarded. California, in fact, was one of the pioneers in adopting a eugenic sterilization measure. This scheme, designed to keep the population genetically superior, was eventually accepted by twenty-three states and later by Nazi Germany. By 1925, 1,374 sterilization operations had been performed on the mentally retarded, 64 percent of which had taken place in California. Of those who escaped such treatment, most were institutionalized.
