Excerpt from Telling All Americans' Stories: Introduction to American Latino Heritage by National Park Service
The movement of people, ideas, beliefs, and cultures across America's shifting borders and the consequences of these migrations are central to the
American story. Diego Rivera-a prominent leader of the 1920s Mexican Mural Movement-produced some of his most famous work in American
cities. As an outspoken member of the Mexican Communist Party, Rivera invited criticism during his travels, but even his most controversial works
resonated with American audiences during the Great Depression. His Detroit Industry Murals a National Historic Landmark-celebrated American
industry and Detroit's factory workers' strength and dignity
Latino/a Americans have been some of the most vocal and successful advocates for civil rights in the United States. During the 1960s, labor activists
Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez formed the United Farm Workers of America, a joint Latino/a and Filipino organization that created the first
permanent agricultural labor union in the United States. Along with the efforts of Filipino activists like Larry Itlong the UFW established
headquarters at Forty Acres in Delano. California's farm workers successfully executed the Delano grape strike and boycott, which drew national
attention to unsafe working conditions and resulted in a 1970 settlement with California's entire table grape industry.
