Description
This true story took place at the emergency farm-labor camp immortalized in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. Ostracized as "dumb Okies," the children of Dust Bowl migrant laborers went without school -- until Superintendent Leo Hart and 50 Okie kids built their own school in a nearby field.
