Common Ground Script

This play follows the journey of a young man from Japan to America to tell the little-known story of the Japanese-Mexican Labor Association and its fight for fair wages and better working conditions in the sugar beet fields of Southern California in 1903. In the face of violence and fierce anti-Asian prejudice, the Japanese and Mexican farm laborers of the JMLA showed all Americans how moral courage and unity can help make the world a better place.
