In September, SPLC's Teaching Tolerance program will unveil a new documentary film and teaching kit, Viva la Causa!, that focuses on one of the seminal events in the march for human rights - the grape strike and boycott led by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in the 1960s. Viva la Causa! will show how thousands of people from across the nation joined in a battle for justice for the most exploited people in our country - the workers who put food on our tables. 
Like all of our Teaching Tolerance products, the film and kit will be distributed free to classrooms across the nation and will inspire millions of children for years to come. The film, offered in English and Spanish, will feature interviews with Chavez's family and Dolores Huerta, as well as farmworker families, students and others who served as "foot soldiers," breathing life into the movement. It will remind today's students that they are inheritors of la causa, and that they, too, possess the power to change the world.
