Correct answer: poor pay.
Explanation:
- Poor pay — Yes. Migrant farm workers in the 1960s endured very low wages, long hours, and poverty.
- Broken treaties — No. That term mainly refers to Native American treaty violations and isn’t a typical description of migrant farmworkers’ experience.
- No leadership — No. While they lacked legal protections and many were unorganized, there were active organizers and leaders (e.g., César Chávez, Dolores Huerta) who mobilized farmworkers in the 1960s.
- Drought — Not generally cited as a defining hardship of migrant farmworkers in the 1960s (crop failures/dust/drought could affect work occasionally, but it wasn’t a primary, consistent hardship like low pay, poor housing, and health risks).
