As we recognize #FarmworkersDay - on what used to be called #CesarChavezDay -- we shine a light on the Filipino farmworkers led by a man named Larry Itliong - who started the famous Delano grape strike of 1965, and then recruited Chavez to join them. The farmworkers movement was never one man, but several leaders including people like Itliong who was nearly forgotten by history. I had a chance to speak with Larry's son Johnny Itliong johnnyitliong who talked about his father's legacy, and how he wants him to be remembered. Today, a handful of places are named after Itliong, including a middle school in Union City @ivccougars (along with Philip Vera Cruz) and a park in Delano. Thank you to @grromasanta and the cast and crew of @larrythemusical who opened my eyes and first allowed me to tell the story of Larry Itliong. Shoutout to @kpixtv for giving us the platform to tell these important stories. And producer @lisaachong for all the connections. #larryitliong #delanograpestrike #larrythemusical
