March 31st is César Chávez Day, a day celebrated to honor the birth & legacy of the civil rights figure. Chávez was born on this day in 1927 and founded the United Farm Workers in August 1966 with Dolores Huerta. The United Farm Workers fought for labor and civil rights for Mexican-American and Filipino farm workers, especially those working on grape farms. The United Farm Workers continues to this day to fight for protections and labor rights of California farm workers. For today, Jared letterpress printed a photo engraving from the Brett from Pennsylvania Collection. The print depicts an advertisement showing a woman grocery shopping and selecting grapes that are under a sign with the United Farm Workers logo, telling the viewer look for the union label. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. • • • #SacHistoryMuseum #CesarChavez #CesarChavezDay #unitedfarmworkers #powerofthepress #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #printi...
