“ I w ill continue to work with all
my strength for equal opportunity
for all Americans — and for affirm a

extra burden of past denial o f equal
opportunity.”
President Carter
January 23,1979
The kitchens don’t have
disposals or dishwashers.
The roofs might leak a
little.
Some of the plumbing
isn’t what it ought to be.
But in today’s market it
would cost you a fortune to
duplicate some of the beau
tiful hardwood floors you
find here. Or the beveled
windows. Or the marble
fireplaces.
Still, this is a neighbor
hood that could be on its
way down. And we don’t
want it to decline because
of indifference.
Part of the problem, of
course, is money. Some
times people are skittish
about lending money on
property that seems on
the decline.
So it declines even more.

"The Farah Strike” is a movie about the walkout by 4,000 Chicano workers
for a union at Farah Pants in El Paso, Texas. The strikers organized support
throughout the country — committees were formed and a boycott o f Farah
pants. The successful strike was a powerful blow against the rulers who grow

fighters, the Farah workers tell the proud history o f the Chicano people's
struggle, which the strike at Farah was a part of. A ll proceeds from the film w ill
go to the legal defense o f the Moody Park 3. These fighters are facing twenty
