In response, the UFW organized the first of many grape boycotts, protesting unsafe and unfair conditions for migrant workers.

In 1966, Cesar Chavez and thousands of migrant workers made a televised "pilgrimage" from San Francisco to Sacramento on foot to attract attention to their movement.

In 1968, Chavez began a fast as further protest which lasted 25 days, and ended with him across the table from Robert Kennedy.
