Introduction<\/h4>\n

The exhibition \u201cHope and Dignity\u201d captures the duality of the struggle faced by farmworkers: hope for a better economic future for themselves and their families by creating a strong union, and dignity in their quest for being recognized as human beings and citizens.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez<\/h4>\n

Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s vision of transforming a labor struggle into a nonviolent Farm Worker Movement helped the union to succeed by mobilizing national support for farmworkers. The grape boycott had an important impact nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n

Huelguistas<\/h4>\n

The farmworker movement of the 1960s and 1970s forged a broad coalition of workers, students, activists, and religious allies that won most of its early battles leveraging its diversity. It extended collective bargaining rights to farmworkers and created a social movement.<\/p>\n

Children<\/h4>\n

Children participated and were present in all union activities\u2014fieldwork, picketing, union meetings, office work, marches, etc. With their parents having to work for long days, children had to spend time in the fields. Those old enough were additional hands, while the younger ones were simply present.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IXLA-Farmworkers-movement-mock-ups-individual-01-scaled.jpg” alt=”Panel of El Teatro Campesino.” title_text=”IXLA Farmworkers movement mock ups individual-01″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

El Teatro Campesino<\/h4>\n

El Teatro Campesino mixed the Mexican carpa tradition and the Italian commedia dell’arte<\/em>, using masks, Mexican Indigenous themes, and Mexican popular comedy. The main characters of the “actos\u201d or skits were: Patroncito, Huelguista, Don Coyote, Esquirol, and Don Sotaco (the helpless worker).<\/p>\n

Boycotts<\/h4>\n

The UFW is known for the grape boycott that started in 1966 and eventually forced the growers to sign contracts with the union four years later. Boycotting stores was one of the union\u2019s main strategies. This was called a \u201csecondary boycott,\u201d a form of union solidarity that was prohibited under the National Labor Relations Act.<\/p>\n

Pickets<\/h4>\n

During the grape strike, the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) adopted a new tactic called the roving picket line, where activists traveled in car caravans, arrived at grape fields waving flags and banners, and called workers out before moving to the next location.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IXLA-Farmworkers-movement-mock-ups-individual-07-scaled.jpg” title_text=”IXLA Farmworkers movement mock ups individual-07″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Fields<\/h4>\n

Behind all fruits and vegetables in the supermarket hides a world of toil and skill unknown to most consumers. Farmwork depends on accomplished hand coordination, sharp eyes, and physical endurance. It is a collective enterprise\u2014including children\u2014who used to lack the most basic rights, like access to a bathroom or fresh water.<\/p>\n

1968 Fast<\/h4>\n

The fast C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez undertook on February 14, 1968, was an atonement for the violence committed by other members of his organization in response to violence against them. He wanted to bring back into focus their fight for justice, prevent further acts of violence by the strikers, and rededicate the movement.<\/p>\n

Housing<\/h4>\n

The housing crisis among farmworkers sparked National Farm Workers Association efforts to close and reform the camps. To keep the inside temperatures bearable during summer, tenants had to find heavy carpets or old mattresses, throw them over the roofs of the hovels, and keep them soaking wet day and night.<\/p>\n

March to Sacramento<\/h4>\n

On March 17, 1966, sixty-seven picketers, organizers, and supporters started a farmworker march from Delano to Sacramento to bring public awareness of the grape strike and boycott. These marchers crossed more than 50 towns and cities in California\u2019s Central Valley while thousands of people joined the march.<\/p>\n
