Wisconsin Woman Picketing for Grape Boycott
A woman wearing a paisley dress is carrying a United Farmworkers (UFW)/AFL-CIO sign in front of a Kroger store that reads, "Honor Picket Line/ National Council of Churches/Supports Grape Boycott." In the background are other picketers, a man in sunglasses and a boy, also carrying the same signs. 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.
