The book recounts the pivotal 1965 strike by Filipino American grape pickers in California, who demanded fair wages equal to their Mexican counterparts. When growers in Delano refused their request for $1.40 an hour, it ignited one of the longest and most impactful labor strikes in U.S. history. Award-winning author Larry Dane Brimner combines thorough research with firsthand accounts from workers, organizers, and growers, enhanced by archival images, to illustrate the struggle and its significant legacy. The book also includes an author's note and bibliography.
