Grape Boycott Picket
Francisco Rodriguez of Crystal City, Texas is picketing a Wautoma grocery store during the grape boycott in 1968. Grape boycotts in Wisconsin were organized by the local farm-worker labor union, Obreros Unidos (United Workers), an independent farm worker labor union effort in the 1960s. Rodriguez is holding a UFW flag with the Aztec eagle symbol encircled in the center. On the upper right hand corner, a word is written that possibly says "fuerza" or "fuerte" which means strength or strong.
