Adrian, MI – Original members of the Adrian Friends of Farm Workers gave a presentation at the Lenawee Historical Society Thursday night about the local support given to Cesar Chavez’s nationwide movement in the 1960’s and 70’s to support the United Farm Workers Union.

One of those members, Lupe Chico Gonzales, talked to WLEN News about why they decided to give the talk…

 

WLEN News will run a series of stories this weekend about the boycotts of products, primarily grapes and lettuce, picked by the non-union migrant work force…and Adrian’s involvement in the nation-wide boycott.
