I doubt any on this image reached sixth grade, it was a back breaking work. interesting how the "mulatos", or Hispanic whites where only allow to work with a machete on the field, I guess it was a higher paying job, but rather no allow to any African or dark skin individual.

Not true.If you went more to the center of the island youwould have seen more black folks with machetes. Puerto Rican families consist at that time of maybe 9 to 17 kids.Maybe 2 went to school & college the rest were needed for the fields to work. there blacks, whites & browns worked together. They were rought times. everyone was needed for the fields.
