It originated from the merger of two workers' rights organizations, the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) led by organizer Larry Itliong, and the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta . They became allied and transformed from workers' rights organizations into a union as a result of a series of strikes in 1965, when the mostly Filipino farmworkers of the AWOC in Delano, California initiated a grape strike, and the NFWA went on strike in support . As a result of the commonality in goals and methods, the NFWA and the AWOC formed the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee on August 22, 1966 . This organization was accepted into the AFL - CIO in 1972 and changed its name to the United Farmworkers Union . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Hispanic and Latino Americans </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> National origin groups (show) <Ul> <Li> Argentine Americans </Li> <Li> Bolivian Americans </Li> <Li> Brazilian Americans </Li> <Li> Chilean Americans </Li> <Li> Colombian Americans </Li> <Li> Costa Rican Americans </Li> <Li> Cuban Americans </Li> <Li> Dominican Americans </Li> <Li> Ecuadorian Americans </Li> <Li> Guatemalan Americans </Li> <Li> Honduran Americans </Li> <Li> Mexican Americans </Li> <Li> Nicaraguan Americans </Li> <Li> Panamanian Americans </Li> <Li> Paraguayan Americans </Li> <Li> Peruvian Americans </Li> <Li> Puerto Ricans (stateside) </Li> <Li> Salvadoran Americans </Li> <Li> Spanish Americanss </Li> <Li> Uruguayan Americans </Li> <Li> Venezuelan Americans </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> History (show) <Ul> <Li> History of Hispanic and Latino Americans </Li> <Li> History of Mexican Americans </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Colonial casta system (show) <Ul> <Li> castizo </Li> <Li> cholo </Li> <Li> criollo </Li> <Li> mestizo </Li> <Li> mulato </Li> <Li> pardo / moreno </Li> <Li> zambo </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Political movements (show) <Ul> <Li> Chicano Movement </Li> <Li> Hispanic and Latino American politics </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Organizations (show) <Ul> <Li> Association of Hispanic Arts </Li> <Li> Congressional Hispanic Caucus </Li> <Li> Congressional Hispanic Conference </Li> <Li> LULAC </Li> <Li> MALDEF </Li> <Li> MEChA </Li> <Li> NALEO </Li> <Li> NALFO </Li> <Li> National Council of La Raza </Li> <Li> National Hispanic Institute </Li> <Li> RNHA </Li> <Li> SHPE </Li> <Li> UFW </Li> <Li> USHCC </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Culture (show) <Ul> <Li> Literature </Li> <Li> Music </Li> <Li> Religion </Li> <Li> Studies </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Related national groups (show) <Ul> <Li> Belizean Americans </Li> <Li> Brazilian Americans </Li> <Li> Filipino Americans </Li> <Li> Guyanese Americans </Li> <Li> Haitian Americans </Li> <Li> Portuguese Americans </Li> <Li> Spanish Americans </Li> <Li> Surinamese Americans </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Languages (show) <Ul> <Li> English </Li> <Li> Spanglish </Li> <Li> Spanish </Li> <Li> Cuban Spanish <Ul> <Li> United States <Ul> <Li> New Mexican </Li> <Li> Puerto Rican </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ethnic groups (show) <Ul> <Li> Californio </Li> <Li> Chicano </Li> <Li> Hispano </Li> <Li> Isleño </Li> <Li> Nuevomexicano </Li> <Li> Nuyorican </Li> <Li> Tejano </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Lists (show) <Ul> <Li> Communities with Hispanic majority </Li> <Li> Hispanic and Latino Americans </Li> <Li> Puerto Rico </Li> <Li> Related topics </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
