Familias Unidas: Tribute to the Migrant Farm Workers Labor Movement in Wisconsin 1960s-1970s
In the 1960s and 1970s, Chicano/a and Latinx migrant farm workers and other community members organized to improve working and housing conditions, expand social services, challenge discrimination in hiring practices, advance bilingual programs, and gain greater access to higher education. Known as the Farm Workers Movement, it continues to be consequential to the Hispanic community and the nation at large today. The Grohmann Museum and Latino Arts Inc. are pleased to present this joint exhibit, featuring photographs, art, artifacts, and ephemera related to the movement. The exhibit features generous contributions by local leaders and organizations that were at the forefront of the movement.
