To successfully complete this assessment, students must examine the source information and consider the context in which these documents were created. To answer Question 1, students must reason that in order for a building to be designated as a Historic American Building it must be historically significant. They must then infer that because the headquarters of the United Farm Workers is a Historic American Building, the UFW was influential. For Question 2, students should explain how the Young Americans for Freedom poster of Cesar Chavez and the UFW is also evidence of the union’s influence. They should conclude that an organization would only seek to discredit the UFW if it were powerful.
