I dedicate this #LaborDay to all the Manongs of Delano a.k.a. the Filipino farmworkers who were the first to walk out of vineyards in 1965. A chapter of history we now know as the Delano Grape Strike and whose bold steps eventually led to the multiethnic United Farm Workers movement. One of the largest labor movements in history. #DelanoGrapeStrike #DelanoManongs #RemembertheManongs #RememberDelano #KnowHistoryKnowSelf #NoHistoryNoSelf #ProjectBulosan #AsianAmerican #FilipinoAmerican #Filipno #ethnicstudies #BoldStep50 #MCM #ManongCrushMonday [Images from UC San Diego Library (top); Walter Reuther Library (bottom)] (at Delano, California)
