What do images tell us about the role of protest in creating change? Using the logo for the United Farm Workers as a point of departure, Mary explores one of the most famous strikes in U.S. history, the Delano Grape Strike.

BRIdge From the Past: Art Across U.S. History is a YouTube series for students that explores an important historic image every episode to gain insights into the culture, politics, and society of a particular time in U.S. history. Host Mary Patterson will explain how each primary source is its own "window to the past," revealing new areas for contemplation and discussion.
