Date	[between 1973 and 1975?]
Notes	Content derived from inventory prepared by Dana EchoHawk.; Title derived from inventory.; From inventory: "Jesús Valderrama is shown picketing at Karl's Liquors on West Colfax in Denver. The young girl is the daughter of the owner of Karl's Liquors. The store owner had allegedly referred to the United Farm Workers of America as "Nazi-Commie Agitators" sparking the picket lines around his establishment. Valderrama and his wife Sebastiana came to Denver with their three children in 1973. A strike was called that summer in California when California grape growers signed "sweetheart" contracts with the Teamsters Union. After the death of two strikers, Cesar Chavez called off the California strike and sent farm workers across the country to lead boycotts of lettuce, grapes, and Gallo wine. Karl's Liquors was one of many liquor stores in the Denver area to remove Gallo wine from their shelves.
