Extremely rare early poster promoting a fundraiser for the Delano grape strike organized by the farmworkers’ movement and the National Farm Workers Association, which later became part of the United Farm Workers. July 12, 1966 at the Fillmore Auditorium. With performances by Quicksilver Messenger Service and San Andreas Fault Finders.
A classic example of 1960s psychedelic concert poster art, bold high-contrast red/black colors, oversized condensed lettering, and flowing bubble typography associated with the San Francisco counterculture scene. The NFWA (National Farm Workers Association )was a historic labor organization founded in 1962 by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in Delano, California, to organize Mexican American and Filipino farmworkers. Its eagle symbol was an important emblem of the farmworkers’ movement.
Please note stains and tape along edges.
