This collection of photographs, slides, contact sheets, and negatives by United Farm Workers (UFW) staff photographer Gayanne Fietinghoff documents the work and home lives of California’s Central Valley farmworkers from 1972 to 1977. While employed by the UFW from 1972 to 1975, Fietinghoff trained her lens on the struggles of farmworkers, who were primarily Mexican American and Filipino American, working in the fields and participating in UFW activities and events. Fietinghoff captured UFW boycotts, strikes, rallies, demonstrations, marches (including the 1975 march against E & J Gallo Winery), clashes with Teamsters, arrests by law enforcement, meetings and campaigns. Fietinghoff also documented worker camps, UFW headquarters (“La Paz”), and Cesar Chavez’s protest fast in Arizona. Fietinghoff photographed many of the leaders and supporters of the UFW. Along with Cesar Chavez there are images of Dolores Huerta, Chris Hartmire, Philip Vera Cruz, Marshall Ganz, Richard Chavez, Pete Velasco, Richard Ybarra, Dorothy Day and others. This collection contains Fietinghoff’s output from a 1977 personal project, which took her on a road trip through the Central Valley photographing the living and working conditions of farmworkers, with a focus on women and their families. This collection contains a small quantity of documents from Fietinghoff’s professional files, including articles and newspaper clippings. Also contained in this collection are images of farmworkers and UFW-related activities made by other photographers, including Rick Tejada-Flores, Sebastian Sahugan, Chris Sanchez, Ernest Lowe, and Bill Ravensi, some of which date to 1982.
