The Farmworkers, 1974-1975

I photographed up and down the valleys of California the young men living in labor camps, in chicken coops and under the sky. The children and adults working together in the fields, and the UFW organizers and volunteers listening and talking with farm workers about how elections in the fields, the right of farmworkers to vote for a union of their choice, might change their lives. UFW organizers Celestino Rivas, Ricardo Villapando, Rosa Saucedo, and Chuy Solano often included me in their daily rounds, from the fields and camps to Maria’s kitchen table.
