50 years ago today, the Delano grape strike started when Filipino farmworkers walked out of the fields to demand dignity. Lorraine Agtang, one of the few remaining strikers, remembers that day and all that grew out of their movement, including the help from a key ally – Walter Reuther. #PROUAW #GRAPESTRIKE #APALA UFW #CesarChavez
