Poster has a black and white photograph of a man with his arms crossed. Under the photograph is a quote that reads:"It is in the book of Genesis which states that upon leaving the Garden of Eden, man would have to live by the sweat of his brow. Under the free enterprise system one must have a profession, education or money. We farm workers have chosen to work the land and ask only that we be given the right to put a price on the sweat of our brow. It is in the human right to be allowed to have elections and decide wether we want a union or not. We have marched over 1500 miles to remind the American People of our plight and to make our demands known to the world." The bottom edge of the poster reads in large black letters: "Antonio Orendain/ General President andDirector of /Texas Farmworkers Union"
