Description

Jesus, Don Claudio & Pantaleon near Cisco, Texas.

This was the march from Mulshoe, Texas by the Texas Farmworkers Union. I joined them for a couple of days.

"The Texas Farm Workers Union ("TFWU") was established by Antonio Orendain in August 1975, nearly ten years after he began organizing farm workers for the United Farm Workers in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas."

"In February of 1979 House Bill 227, the new farm worker bill, was introduced. Initially, the bill appeared to have more support than its predecessor, and Orendain –who relocated his mobile home and personal base of operations from San Juan to Pharr –worked hard at garnering support for the bill throughout the Valley. He also led a group of union members on a little-publicized march from Muleshoe to Austin to publicize the bill."
