The Fight for Bread and Dignity, a StoryMap at Cesar E. Chavez National Monument
Description
Follow the route taken by striking farmworkers as they marched for civil rights and economic justice in the spring of 1966. The historic farmworker march from Delano to Sacramento began on March 17, 1966. Over the next 25 days, a group ranging in size from sixty to well over a thousand visited more than 50 towns and cities in the Central Valley. Along the way, students, union organizers, civil rights workers, members of the clergy, and elected leaders joined the marchers. They were drawn to the farmworkers’ struggle for social and economic justice, a journey Cesar Chavez described as a fight for “bread and dignity.”
