Images of United Farm Workers Ephemera Collection - California RevealedThe United Farm Workers (UFW) agricultural labor union
was founded in Delano, California, in August 1966. The union gained national recognition for leading the Delano grape strike from 1965 to 1970, which resulted in a collective bargaining agreement with grape growers and brought widespread attention to the farm workers' movement. Cesar Chavez led the UFW from its founding until his passing in 1993. The collection includes flyers, posters, short publications, and other ephemera related to the UFW, the Delano grape strike, various UFW campaigns, and Chavez's enduring legacy.
