Alfredo Diaz Flores was raised in the depression era of the 1930’s, and spent much of his youth relocating with his father, who was a migrant worker. He has been involved with the Local 770 since 1949, and is self-taught artist. His work can be seen in San Jose and Los Angeles, California, as well as San Antonio Texas. (Robin K.
