United Farm Workers Organizing Committee. Fort Worth Boycott Committee.
A group of Tarrant County citizens organized in 1969 to support and aid the farm workers in California and Texas who were on strike by boycotting grapes and lettuce grown in these areas. The group called itself the Tarrant County Grape Boycott Committee. In late 1969 the name was changed to the Friends of the Farm Workers and about as year later to the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, Fort Worth Boycott Committee.
