Yellen, Ben, 1907-1994
An American physician educated and trained at Columbia University and the Long Island School of Medicine, Yellen migrated to Brawley, Calif., in 1942, where he founded a successful medical practice that primarily served agricultural workers and migrants. Approximately ten years later, Yellen emerged as one of the leading proponents for enforcing rights of local farm workers (domestic and migrant) and for inhibiting the growth of large, corporate farms. In 1961, Yellen helped to usher through the legal system a case arguing for enforcement of the Reclamation Law of 1902 to the Imperial Valley growers. In 1964, he won a four-year term on the Brawley town council. In the last decade of his life, Yellen was sued for malpractice, which cost him his medical license. During this period he also sued U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, addressing once again the plight of domestic farm workers displaced by the use of illegal immigrants. The suit never made it to court, largely due to Yellen's death on 1 July 1994 at the age of 87.
