What -- A letter addressing The Grape and Tree Fruit Company in California, specifically Mr EL Barr Jr, President of the company
When -- April 1969
Where -- near the Central Valley, California
Why -- To dispel the claims from the fruit company that Chavez's strike was violent, unruly, and unfeasible, and to prove that the strikers are fighting for a just cause. To fight for change and equity for the strikers and establish economic solidarity among the migrant workers.
How --  By engaging in civil disobedience and relentless picketing to advance the strike (even going so far as to go on a grueling hunger strike)]]> 2021-10-27 18:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kshklyan/qojjd2qau05tkhin/wish/1849212227 https://padlet.com/kshklyan/qojjd2qau05tkhin/wish/1849213561 Cesar Chavez's farmworker movement and Filipino Grape Worker movement worked together during the 1960s to oppose the low wages from the landowners occuring in Northern Californa. Both movements agreed on a nonviolence approach.]]> 2021-10-27 18:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kshklyan/qojjd2qau05tkhin/wish/1849213561 https://padlet.com/kshklyan/qojjd2qau05tkhin/wish/1849215150 The broken promise and dominant ideology being addressed in both texts is the idea of "all men being equal." Throughout the text, Chavez makes points to remind the President of the Tree Fruit Company (oppressor) that the workers are human as well. The fact that Chavez feels the need to remind those in power that they, too, are human is an example that they are not being treated as such. It also discusses the ideas of systemic racism and how the agricultural business ties the workers down and makes it harder for them to move up and work for a better life that was sought after in America. Chavez pulls logical evidence through the mistreatment he faced himself. ]]> 2021-10-27 18:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kshklyan/qojjd2qau05tkhin/wish/1849215150 https://padlet.com/kshklyan/qojjd2qau05tkhin/wish/1849232858 What are the similarities between the movements during the 1960s and how does this one build off of previous movements (such as the civil rights movements) and tie into future ones? ]]> 2021-10-27 19:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kshklyan/qojjd2qau05tkhin/wish/1849232858
