Thanks for the background info. I have shades of memory of these things happening, from visiting family, in CA in the ‘70’s, and hearing similar stories.

Same here. I grew up in a very small agriculture town where he had one of his first offices. When we would get out of the movie theatre we had to pass it since it was just a few doors down. We’d go in and they would give us a candy. They kept a big bowl full of candy. lol If our parents had known they would have had a fit.

He was also against illegal immigration, because they competed at lower wages with his union workers. He understood to stand by Americans.

At one time Delano, CA had a huge Phillipino population working in the vineyards. They were the immigrants Chavez fought.
