Maria Moreno is elected to represent her union at the 1961 conference of the AFL-CIO, a national federation of labor unions. President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt and Walter Reuther are the main speakers, but Maria gets a chance to deliver an address on behalf of farmworkers, pleading for industrial workers to support their struggle for justice.
