When we talk about the farm labor movement, the name César Chávez often comes to mind — but history is incomplete without Larry Itliong, a Filipino American labor leader who helped spark one of the most powerful labor movements in U.S. history. This discussion shines a light on Itliong’s legacy and the critical role of Filipino, Mexican, and other immigrant farmworkers in forming the United Farm Workers (UFW). Through discussion and reflection, we’ll explore how Itliong’s leadership, solidarity with Chicano organizers, and vision for worker dignity transformed labor rights in California and beyond. We’ll also connect the dots between past and present struggles—examining how today’s food systems, immigrant labor, and social justice movements are shaped by the foundation these organizers laid. Join us to uncover the buried history, honor cross-cultural solidarity, and consider how student advocacy can carry these lessons forward.
