Show Notes
In 1965, Filipino and Mexican American farmworkers in California launched a pivotal grape strike, led by Larry Itliong and Cesar Chavez. This five-year battle secured better wages and contracts, but recent allegations of Chavezs abuse have sparked a reevaluation of this history. Filipino communities are now advocating for a fuller story, highlighting the role of Filipino initiators and women survivors, and pushing to rename Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day.
