Worthington’s Hispanic population dates way back - Minnesota

Mexican people, Hispanic people were a part of life through our area during those years. 1928, ’29, ’30. ’31. Lately I came on an article from 1930. The speaker for Worthington’s Kiwanis Club on Constitution Day was Marie Luiz Cabrera, “social worker who worked for the past two years among the Mexican laborers in Nobles County beet plots.”

Cabrera told the Kiwanians, “Generally they are a hardworking, thrifty race and as a rule aim to pay their way and meet their just obligations.” She said the problem, all around, was “language barrier.” By this date, Cabrera’s comments recall Paul Newman’s line from, “Cool Hand Luke.””*
