Michigan State University Librarian Diana Rivera delivers a talk entitled, "Huelga!: Latino Labor and Poster Art." Rivera displays and describes the extensive collection of poster art from the MSU Libraries' Cesar Chavez Collection which she curates. She talks about events that led to the creation of a number of the posters supporting the United Farm Workers, several strikes and boycotts, and other Chicano labor and social justice actions. Rivera also talks about symbolism used in the posters, the use of Chavez's image, the artists who created the posters, and how the collection is being preserved and digitized by MSU Libraries' staff. Rivera is introduced by MSU Professor John P. Beck. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations, the MSU Museum, and co-sponsored by the Chicano/Latino Studies Program and the Julian Samora Research Institute as part of the University's Project 60/50. Held at the MSU Museum.
