Created in 1984, the Movement of Rural Landless Workers (MST) is the largest grassroots organization in Brasil. One of the many outcomes of the movement was land reform. The joy expressed when agreements were reached--on the Cuiaba plantation in Sergipe, Brasil--for landless workers to have access to land is captured in this photograph by the great photographer, Sabastao Salgado. Please do visit his website, which captures the challenges faced by the “majority world.” http://www.terra.com.br/sebastiaosalgado/ I was introducted to the work of Salgado in a wonderful way, this is one of three Salgado photos that are prominantly displaced in the office of Professor Pedlwoski.
