Thus, the march was planned to pass through as many small towns as possible. The march was led by a farmworker carrying a banner of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patron saint of Mexico, made by 22-year-old Alicia Jim\u00e9nez from Sacramento.<\/span>[\/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_image=”http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/17.41.JK_.N35.B7.03.03.png” background_position=”top_center” background_vertical_offset=”71%” min_height=”65vh” link_option_url=”https:\/\/cdm17169.contentdm.oclc.org\/digital\/collection\/FMC\/id\/2608″ link_option_url_new_window=”on” 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” link_option_url=”https:\/\/digital-library.csun.edu\/fmc” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

As the marchers walked single file along Highway 99 and on small roads, people used to come to cheer the workers on and offer food or drinks. Sometimes, music performers welcomed the marchers and a few of these local musicians joined the march to Sacramento. A farmworker advanced team devised strategies to mobilize local farmworker committees and groups to welcome the marchers, feed them, organize a rally each evening and a mass the next morning.<\/span>[\/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\/2024\/03\/17.41.JK_.N35.B7.03.01.10-1-scaled.jpg” alt=”Nurse Peggy McGivern inspects the feet of a marcher sitting inside a house during the march to Sacramento, 1966″ title_text=”Nurse Peggy McGivern inspects the feet of a marcher sitting inside a house during the march to Sacramento, 1966″ url=”https:\/\/cdm17169.contentdm.oclc.org\/digital\/collection\/FMC\/id\/2729″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _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=”40px” text_line_height=”1.2em” width=”95%” custom_padding=”|||36px||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The farmworkers who undertook the march to Sacramento were not expecting the toll walking all day took on their bodies, especially since many of them were working and organizing right up to the beginning\u00a0of the march. Their feet became blistered and bloody, and others suffered from pulled and strained muscles. Nurse Peggy McGivern administered medical services throughout the march.<\/p>\n

The plan was modeled after Emiliano Zapata\u2019s Plan de Ayala. Teatro Campesino also performed during those rallies. The physical suffering of the long march enhanced the religious aspects. \u201cEvery step was a needle,\u201d C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez recalled. He suffered from a swollen ankle, blisters, and fever for a day or two. Then, he continued the march hobbling a cane. \u201cThe penance part of it,\u201d he said, \u201cis the most important thing of the pilgrimage.\u201d<\/span>[\/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_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” link_option_url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
