Milwaukee Picketers Supporting Grape Boycott
| A group of picketers supporting the nationwide United Farmworkers/AFL-CIO grape boycott in front of Kroger Supermarket. Picketers are carrying signs that say "Don't Buy Grapes." At the center is a man wearing sunglasses and a hat walking and speaking through a bullhorn. Among picketers are three young children on the right. A girl wearing a jacket and shorts, with her back towards the camera, observes the event on her bicycle while standing in front of a parked car. 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.
