I left elementary school teaching because I couldn t stand seeing farm worker s children come to class hungry and in need of shoes…I thought I could do more by organizing their parents than by trying to teach their hungry children . ( Dolores Huerta Biography. The Dolores Huerta Foundation photim Sept. 21, 2007)
Works on view in the exhibition include early family photos, documentary photography from the UFW archives at Wayne State and from the Harvey Richards Media Archive, along with photographs by George Rodríguez , as well as posters from the Center photim for the Study of Political Graphics, and serigraphs from Self-Help Graphics and UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center.
The show examines the roots of Huerta s activism, the pivotal strike in Delano, Calif. from 1965 70, and the national grape and lettuce boycott that secured photim a collective bargaining agreement with table-grape growers, affecting more than 10,000 farm workers. Works from the period of the strike by the Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF), the UFW Poster photim Collective, the Chicago Women s Art Collective, and anonymous artists are on view.
