Mapping UFW Strikes, Boycotts, and Farm Worker Actions 1965-1975
http://depts.washington.edu/moves/UFW_map-events.shtmlResource Type: Unclassified Cx Number: CX23426 When ethnic Mexican farm workers led by Cesar Chavez joined with Filipino American workers led by Larry Itliong in 1965 to strike grape growers in Delano, California, the modern farm workers movement was born. Operating initially as the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee and later as the UFW, the union spread beyond California as it launched a national grape boycott and inspired farm worker organizing in other states. Researched by Katie Anastas, these maps show the geography of UFW activism, locating more than 1,000 farm worker strikes, boycotts, and other actions. Subject Headings |
