“¡Sí, se puede!”: Chávez, Huerta, and the UFW

  • Activity, Activity Sheet, Article, Discussion Questions, Handout, Lesson Plan, Primary Source, Primary Source Document, Timeline, Video, Writing Prompt
The United Farm Workers organized to bring attention and change to the exploitative working conditions faced by farm workers during the 1960s and 1970s. Efforts centered in California quickly grew into a larger civil rights movement for Chicanos and other groups under the leadership of Dolores Huerta and César Chávez, whose legacies remain an inspiration for the civil rights movements that continue in the United States. This lesson provides access to artifacts and primary sources, including our United Farm Workers Learning Lab collection, while also placing Chávez, Huerta, and the UFW within the context of the long civil rights movement.
