History and Creation of the NCFH Logo

On this 45th anniversary, NCFH would like to acknowledge Luis Guerra for his contribution to the farmworker population.  In 1976 Mr. Guerra created a silkscreen print “Migrant Health” logo for the National Center for Farmworker Health, then known as the National Migrant Referral Project (NMRP). The original “Migrant Health” logo is now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. ​

Luis Guillermo Guerra is a painter, sculptor, and storyteller who divides his time between Real de Catorce, a mountain village in San Luis Potosí, and Austin, Texas. He is a recipient of various awards, including the Siqueiros-Pollock Award in the Binational Border Painting Competition of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico. Guerra’s artwork is also in numerous collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, in Washington, D.C. For two decades, he narrated his Cuentos de la Sierra on NPR’s Latino USA. NCFH is thankful for Mr. Guerra’s contributions.
