The Salt of the Earth Labor College located in Tucson, Arizona is named after the film. The pro-labor institution (not a college, per se) holds various lectures and forums related to unionism and economic justice. The film is screened on a frequent basis. [16] Around 1993, Massachusetts Institute of Technology linguistics professor and political commentator Noam Chomsky praised the film because of the way people were portrayed doing the real work of unions. He said, [T]he real work is being done by people who are not known, thats always been true in every popular movement in history...I dont know how you get that across in a film. Actually, come to think of it, there are some films that have done it. I mean, I dont see a lot of visual stuff, so Im not the best commentator, but I thought Salt of the Earth really did it. It was a long time ago, but at the time I thought that it was one of the really great movies—and of course it was killed, I think it was almost never shown. m.youtube/watch?v=i9oY4rmDaWw
