THREE OPEN EL PROGRESO TORTILLERIA
A community dinner on April 16 was hosted by the three owners of a new, worker-owned tortilla factory, called El Progreso (Progress), in Yancey County in the heart of the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina. The photos and the Spanish translation below were forwarded by Molly Hemstreet.
Las siguientes fotos son de la inauguración de una pequeña tortilleria y cooperativa de trabajadores que se llama El Progreso en el condado de Yancey (en las montañas del oeste de carolina del norte). Tres mujeres (trabajadoras-propietarias) abrieron las puertas de la tortilleria a la comunidad el 16 de abril, 2007 con una cena para la comunidad.
