Teaching Labor History in the Classroom

Educators often use these sheets during Hispanic Heritage Month to introduce students to the labor movement. By coloring scenes of peaceful protests, children can better understand the struggles of agricultural workers. These illustrations pair well with broader civil rights lessons, showing how organized efforts led to better pay and safer working conditions.

Symbols of the Movement

As students work on the portrait pages, they will encounter several important historical symbols. The most prominent is the United Farm Workers flag, which features a stylized black eagle on a red background. You will also see signs bearing his famous motto, 'Sí, se puede', which inspired workers during strikes and boycotts.

  • The UFW eagle logo, representing pride and strength.
  • Picket signs from peaceful marches at the Capitol.
  • Agricultural settings like a farm or grape vineyards.

Coloring Historical Scenes

When coloring the outdoor scenes, students can use earthy greens and browns for the fields, crops, and the occasional tractor. The protest signs and union flags offer a chance to use bold reds and blacks, reflecting the historical accuracy of the nonviolent resistance movement. These visual cues help cement the history in a visual, memorable way.
