As a child, Padilla picked cotton in the fields with his dad and eight siblings. Like many children in the fields, he carried a small cotton sack around his waist. He was only six years old during the great cotton strike of 1933, but he heard the stories and absorbed the essential lesson of organized labor.<\/span><br \/>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=\"Espa\u00f1ol\" button_alignment=\"right\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_image=\"http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bonnie-Chatfield-Gilbert-Padilla-Helen-Chavez-and-Jessica-Govea-working-at-the-Farm-Worker-Service-Center-Delano-ca.-1966.jpg\" background_position=\"top_center\" background_vertical_offset=\"22%\" min_height=\"75vh\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" min_height=\"336.8px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_3,2_3\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"auto||auto||true|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"2_3\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" text_font_size=\"20px\" text_line_height=\"1.6em\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Segregation and discrimination were common and shocking for him. Although whites and Mexicans picked cotton together in the same crews, the Mexicans lived in one camp and the whites in another on the Hamburg ranch in Los Ba\u00f1os. There was one elementary school for Mexicans and two for whites in Azusa. Housing was segregated, but also movie theaters and public swimming pools.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was discharged from the U.S. Army in 1947, and like many, his perspective changed as he worked with whites and was a squad leader. He went to work for a dry cleaner and went back to the fields, where he met C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez in 1955. When Ch\u00e1vez became the national director of the Community Service Organization (CSO), he assigned Padilla to the CSO service center in Stockton.<\/span><br \/>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#D22030\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row column_structure=\"2_5,3_5\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#D22030\" width=\"100%\" max_width=\"100%\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"2_5\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cesar-Chavez-and-Helen-Chavez-standing-in-front-of-the-State-Capitol-Sacramento-1966.jpg\" alt=\"C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez and H\u00e9len Ch\u00e1vez are standing in front of State Capitol on the last day of the march from Delano to Sacramento.
