The photo exhibition aims to capture the dual struggle faced by farmworkers, encompassing their hope for a better economic future for themselves and their families through the formation of a strong union, as well as their quest for dignity and recognition as human beings and citizens. The exhibition specifically focuses on the early years of the farmworkers’ struggle, which include the grape strike, the boycott, the first march or pilgrimage from Delano to Sacramento, the initial efforts to organize workers in Texas, and César Chávez’s fasting as a call for nonviolence and sacrifice.
