Derick, seen at 14, picks strawberries
in the Salinas Valley. He started working
in the fields when he was 13 years old
to help his parents, indigenous Mixtecos
who came to the U.S. from the Mexican
state of Oaxaca. He says the work is
hard on his back, shoulders and legs.
His large family, including his uncles
and cousins, work in the fields.
