This is a metal litho pinback button that
was made for Cesar Chavez and the
United Farm Workers in 1965. It was
based on Cesar Chavez's famous quote:
“We shall strike. We shall organize boycotts.
We shall demonstrate and have political campaigns.
We shall pursue the revolution we have proposed.
We are sons and daughters of the farm workers’ revolution,
a revolution of the poor seeking
bread and justice
.”
The slogan and the button was used by Farmworkers and
later by Civil Rights Movement Organizations. In fact, one
of these
buttons is on display in the collection of the
SMITHSONIAN
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF
AFRICAN-AMERICAN
HISTORY AND CULTURE
This is an original - made for the UFW by
Larry Fox Buttons (Member: A.P.I.C.)
