Episode notes

In this episode we learn about one of the most famous - and longest strikes - the Delano Grape Strike and Boycott that lasted from 1965 to 1970. Initiated by experienced Filipino organizers, this strike brought together Filipino and Mexican workers to develop the United Farm Workers (UFW) union. We'll learn about the many famous labor leaders involved including Larry Itliong, Philip Vera Cruz, Cesar Chavez and Helen Chavez, and Dolores Huerta. We'll also explore the groundbreaking successes of the movement along with some of the challenges and shortfalls.
