Contact seller5-star seller"Join the Grape Strike in Greater Los Angeles in 1970.Boycott Non-Union Grapes" United Farm Workers Organizing Committee. 1970. Broadside Poster 11" x 8.5". On September 8, 1965, one of the most important strikes to the American working class was set in motion that would last over the next five years. Over 2,000 Filipino-America…n grape pickers sought the support from Mexican-American founder of the National Farm Workers Association Cesar Chavez. Through years of struggle between laborers and farm-owners, it was in July of 1970 when the union called for the boycott of table grapes. In this poster, Chavez is shown in a black and white photograph holding the United Farm Workers "Huelga" flag, alongside other protesters. The poster calls to ".boycott against non-union grapes until they win bargaining rights for all grape workers." Before the publishing of this poster, growers agreed upon contracts with UFWOC, however, the fight was not over as it quotes "But most table grape growers still refuse to recognize the rights of their workers." At the bottom text in bold, it refers to the two part pledge card against non-union grapes. It asks people to send them to their local grocers in order to sway the chain stores support for supplying only union grapes. It was with efforts such as these that individual households stopped buying grapes, and union workers in California dockyards let non-union grapes rot in port rather than load them. When the industry saw its market collapsing, major Delano growers agreed to increase worker's pay, contribute to the union health plan, and ensure that their workers were protected against pesticides used in the fields. Chavez's acts during this five year struggle, such as; leading a 300 mile march from Delano to Sacramento, partaking in a hunger strike emulating his hero Mahatma Gandhi, and vowing for non-violent persistence gained notoriety from figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. Subtle tanning to edges, text is clean and legible. Overall very good condition.

Contact seller5-star sellerIndustrial Workers of the World. United Farm Workers benefit concert and dinner poster, 1970s, documents grassroots labor-solidarity fundraising for the UFW in Madison, Wisconsin, showing how farmworker organizing circulated through radical union networks, Catholic social-justice spaces, and youth music culture beyond California…. The poster supports research into Chicano and Latinx labor activism, Midwest solidarity organizing, and the mechanisms by which the UFW cause gained national support after the Delano grape strike ended in 1970. United Farm Workers benefit concert and dinner poster. Industrial Workers of the World. Madison, Wisconsin: Industrial Workers of the World, 1970s. 17" x 11". Red and black poster advertising a benefit concert and dinner for the United Farm Workers at St. Martin House, featuring the Irish Brigade and a detailed illustration of Emiliano Zapata. The use of Zapata links the farmworker struggle to Mexican revolutionary iconography, while the Madison venue places the event within a Catholic hospitality setting founded to foster interracial understanding. The 1970s were a contested period for the UFW, following the Delano grape strike and marked by conflict with the Teamsters over farmworker representation. This poster reveals how supporters outside agricultural regions used concerts, dinners, radical labor sponsorship, and community gathering spaces to raise money and visibility for the union. Minor wear; overall very good condition. A strong visual record of UFW solidarity culture and the national reach of Chicano farmworker labor activism.

Contact seller5-star sellerChavez, Cesar. Press photo archive, 1968-1990s, documenting leadership within the United Farm Workers and the broader Chicano labor movement across multiple decades of activism. These images trace Chavez's role in organizing farmworkers during and after the Delano Grape Strike, his use of nonviolent protest including fasting, an…d his later advocacy against agricultural pesticides, situating him within national and international labor and civil rights discourse. The archive captures both contemporaneous moments of protest and later commemorative uses of earlier images, demonstrating how Chavez's public image was circulated and reinterpreted through press and documentary media following the peak years of the farmworker movement and leading up to and after his death in 1993. Archive of five vintage silver gelatin press photographs, each approximately 8 x 10 inches, with several bearing original captions or pasted articles on recto or verso, along with occasional editorial markings. Images include a 1990 press photograph of Chavez speaking at a podium addressing malathion pesticide spraying; a 1980 image of Chavez at a book signing engaging directly with supporters; and a reprinted 1968 photograph of Chavez breaking his 25-day fast alongside Senator Robert Kennedy, marking a key moment of solidarity during the farmworker struggle. Another reprinted 1968 image shows Chavez participating in a Delano grape strike walkout, later reused in promotional material for the 1996 PBS documentary Chicano! History of the Mexican-American Civil Rights Movement, reflecting the continued circulation of these images in shaping historical narrative. Taken together, the archive documents the evolution of Chavez's public presence from movement leader to symbol of labor and civil rights activism, while also illustrating how press photography functioned to construct and preserve the visual record of the United Farm Workers. The reuse of earlier images in later media underscores the institutionalization of the Chicano movement within public history and documentary practice. Minor handling wear and light surface marks, with some editorial annotations present; photographs remain sharp with strong contrast. Overall very good condition.
