Delano Grape Boycott 🍇 💪🏽 #asianamerican #activism

Did you know Asian Americans were behind one of the most pivotal labor movements in US history? The Filipino farm workers who kickstarted the Delano Grape Strike often go unnoticed. In 1965, Filipino leaders like Larry Itliong, Philip Vera Cruz, and Pete Velasco organized over 1,500 workers — risking everything to fight for justice. Their story reminds us: Asian Americans aren’t just the quiet model minority. They’ve always been at the forefront of change. What’s a movement that you think deserves more recognition? #AsianAmericanHistory #labormovement #hiddenheroes #ushistory #voicesunheard #LarryItliong #PhilipVeraCruz #PeteVelasco #UFWLeaders #DelanoGrapeStrike #DelanoGrapeBoycott #UFW #FarmWorkersRights #HuelgaStrike #FilipinoAmericanHistory#FilAm #aapi #AAPIHistory #AsianAmericanHistory #pinoyhistory #filipinoheritage #laborhistory #AWOC #NFWA
