Portrait of Larry Itliong (1913-1977), a Filipino-American farm labor leader: a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a work jacket, speaking into a microphone, behind him an American flag and signage referencing farm labor activism.

Before the name of Cesar Chavez was everywhere, Larry Itliong and Filipino farm-workers walked off the fields in Delano 1965...igniting a movement.

Filipino. Migrant. Worker. Strategist.
Solidarity isn’t a slogan. It’s strategy.

Over 260,000 Filipino soldiers fought under the U.S. flag in WWII, yet were denied promised benefits until the 2016 Congressional Gold Medal honored their heroism. We remember their sacrifice and legacy this #FilAmHistoryMonth. ✨ #FAHM #FilAmPride
