LeRoy ChatfieldDirector of Farm Workers Movement Documentation Project
Aide of Cesar Chavez Email Interview: February 15, 2014 |
"I have attached links to website pages I believe would be very helpful for students who wish to learn more about the plight of California farm workers and the work of Cesar Chavez in seeking social justice for these workers. If you still need to interview me, you can send some time and dates that are good for you and I will get back to you.
In the order of the list of links above, I provide a few comments:
1. Cesar Chavez and his NFWA - a series of photos taken in 1966 by photographer Jon Lewis during the first year of the Delano Grape Strike. Captions to explain the photos were written by LeRoy Chatfield.
2. An interview of LeRoy Chatfield by documentary filmmakers, Rick Tejada-Flores & Ray Telles published in Syndic Literary Journal.
3. A video monologue by Luis Valdez about the plight of California farm workers. Luis Valdez, founder of El Teatro Campesino and later a Hollywood film director, was an active participant in the early years of the farm worker movement.
4. A video of a 1966 performance of El Teatro Campesino starring Luis Valdez and singer/songwriter Agustin Lira.
5. A video monologue by Luis Valdez about the 1966 farmworker march to Sacramento.
6. An audio musical essay by singer/songwriter Agustin Lira.
All the best for your history project."
