Return to the Table of Contents
Includes articles, bibliographies, broadsides, clippings, interviews, leaflets, magazines, newspapers, notes, press releases, and programs from María G. Flores. The collection is organized in four series: 1. Activities, 2. Subject files, 3. Photographs, and 4. Audiovisual. The bulk of the collection relates to Texas farm workers, including the Texas Farm Workers Union, Austin Friends of the Farmworkers, the Chicano movement, Mexican American art exhibits, and the organization Mujeres Artistas del Suroeste. Materials from the Austin Friends of the Farmworkers include articles, form letters, and press releases written by Maria Flores and Estevan Flores.
Photographs, some taken by Andy Snyder, show agricultural laborers in Texas and in Ojinaga, Mexico, strikes and marches, and Mexican American singer Lydia Mendoza. The audio cassette records speeches given at a farm workers' rally in Hattiesburg, Mississippi; the videotape concerns the struggle of the Texas Farm Workers Union.
