Marcos Muñoz (1941-2021) was born in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, one of six children. He left Mexico unescorted at age 13 for Texas, where he worked on a ranch for room and board. The migrant trail led Muñoz to California where he joined the 1965 Delano grape strike as a picket captain. César Chávez sent him to organize the grape boycott in Boston in 1967 with only a supporter’s name and phone number. Within two years Muñoz, who was illiterate, cleaned grapes out of all national and regional supermarket chains across New England.
