Look what we found in the archives...
A small United Farm Workers (UFW) banner!
The UFW was founded in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and other labor leaders. The flag was designed by Richard Chavez, Cesar’s brother. Remarking on the flag, Cesar Chavez stated, “A symbol is an important thing. That is why we chose an Aztec eagle. It gives pride. When people see it they know it means dignity.”
This item was found during a year-long survey that the Kheel Center is conducting to better document and describe our collections.

ANKHLEJOHN is the Anchor Holding it Down for D.C.
His moms met his pops at a go-go and the rest was history. On the daily, Ankhlejohn supersedes his counterparts scientifically.
Picture going through life unaccomplished..impossible. The education system does its best to try and make students into squares. By squares, I mean workers – individuals who will never try to achieve ownership. ANKHLEJOHN grew up in D.C. and tried to rock the mic via slam poetry. Once that lane showed minimal funds – he pivoted into his own. My oh my how he chose the escalator route.
His moms…

The CA State Library is closed tomorrow in honor of Cesar Chavez Day. A civil rights icon and labor leader, Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association with Dolores Huerta. The rallying cry, "Sí se puede," inspired change, leading workers, who wore buttons like the ones below, in the grape strike to secure higher wages, health plans, and safety measures. #CesarChavez

“…Is it so much to ask that the poorest people of the land have a measure of justice?” - #CesarChavez
"… ¿Es mucho pedir que las personas más pobres de la tierra tengan un poco de justicia?" - CésarChavez
Image description: A Latine mestizo man with brown skin and short black hair graying at his forehead looks out to the image's left with glasses in hand, speaking into a microphone. There is a hill or field behind him and wooden beams framing the photo.

Today is Cesar Chavez Day!
Cesar Chavez’ non-violent and powerful civil rights tactics influenced people across the country, bringing their support to farm worker justice efforts and the National Farm Workers Association, later the United Farm Workers union. He is quoted as having said “The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people,” and “You are never strong enough that you don’t need help".
This is a Cesar Chavez poster titled “Portrait of La Causa” by Octavio Ocampo from our poster collection 6227g.
