Black-and-white photographic print of Cesar Chavez and Robert Kennedy meeting in front of the press at the Delano Grape Strike, inscribed below the image: “Para Andy y Margarita—Buena Suerte, Cesar Chavez.” The morning he visited Delano, Kennedy had decided to run for president and he met Chavez from the perspective of a man who planned to represent the entire nation, not just New York. The Chavez he encountered was worn down by a month-long hunger strike, but still energized by his cause. Kennedy was with Chavez as he broke his fast, publicly offering his support to the farmworkers and expressing his respect for their choice to pursue nonviolent protest.
