"BOYCOTT GRAPES"Delano Grape Strike
Logos & Mascots
The emblem on the left is the infamous "Boycott Grapes" Delano Grape Stike logo. It was important because it gave the movement a simple, clear symbol everyone could recognize. It also allowed anyone who didn't speak english to understand, and helped promote the movement. When shoppers saw this logo in store, they knew not to buy grapes, which futhrer supported the cause. Fun Fact: The animal on the emblem is a Black Aztec Eagle (NMAAHC 1).

Protests &Boycotts
In September 1965, over 4,000 grape-pickersnear Delano, California went on strike after years of unfairness. This was due to various reasons but mostly due to the fact that their employers wouldn't pay them living wages, sign written contracts, recognize the workers' efforts and were forcing them to work in unsafe conditions. After that, it snowballed and lead to 18,000 people joining the strike. The boycotts involved the protesters influencing citizens to not purchase grapes until the employers treated their employees fairly (Records of Rights 1).
IMAGE & TEXT: RECORDS OF RIGHTS
Speeches & Quotes
"I feel we are just as good as any of them. I feel we have the same rights as any of them, Because in that Constitution, it said that everybody has equal rights and justice.”
This quote was used and highlighted from one of many speeches Larry Itliong gave in 1976. This reference shows that Larry really believed that everyone deserves equal rights, and that our laws, like the Declaration of Independence and the Consitution were made to protect everyone, not just a specific group of people. The magnificent cites, speeches and hard work that Larry gave to protect our community was one of the biggest reasons that the Delano Grape Strike is so famous, even to this day (History 2).

"THERE'S BLOOD ONTHOSE GRAPES!"
FLYERS & POSTERS
The "There's blood on those grapes" flyer was used during the Delano Grape Strike, lasting from 1965-1970. This powerful poster has a deeper meaning than it looks. It was meant to inform onlookers/readers that buying grapes was supporting unfair and harmful treatment of farmworkers which caused the sales of grapes to decrease rapidly. It also contains the logo from the previous exhibit (Aztec Eagle). Additionally, the poster also brought out people's sympathy and anger, making them more likely to fight for the cause (V&A 1).
Image & TEXT: V&A
Strikes &Actions
(Note: The following image on the right has lots of drama.) At first, there were two groups fighting for farmers' rights. There was César Chávez's group which was mostly Mexican-American and there was Larry Itliong's group which was mosly Filipino. César's group was unsure about joining Larry's group so his assistant, Dolores Huerta helped him with his dilemma. Instead of choosing, he let their party vote and on September 16, 1965, the Mexican workers voted to join Larry's group which made the movement more united and powerful (Wordpress 1).

QUOTE
Image & Text from : Asian Journal
& posters
There were multiple famous sayings made by Larry Itliong posted but there was one that stood out. “Di Ka Pasisiil.” It means "Never give up" or "You shall never be oppressed." It was put up on posters as it was catchy and attractive. Additionally, it could be interpreted by Americans, Mexicans, or anyone.(Asian Journal 1).
BLOOD &
Grapes
A grape stained with blood represents the suffering and sacrifice that farmworkers experienced during the Delano Grape Strike. The blood shows the pain, risk, and even violence many workers faced as they stood up for justice and dignity. This artifact is a reminder that the movement for farmworker rights came at a real human cost, but also led to meaningful change.
FLAGS
& EAGLES
The United Farm Workers flag stands for solidarity and hope. It shows how Filipino and Mexican farmworkers came together, forming a powerful movement to demand fair treatment, better pay, and respect. The flag is a symbol that unity across cultures leads to real progress in human rights.
Seven Fingers
Larry Itliong's hands with seven fingers symbolize his personal journey and the struggles of immigrant laborers. Losing 3 fingers in a field accident, he was a bold leader who never gave up. This artifact stands for his resilience and how he inspired others to keep fighting, even when faced with danger and hardship.
"Since we as Filipinos in America were not given due respect as human beings therefore we develop a very early attitude of a devil may care. Why not, since we were just being used and exploited by everyone left and right. Even after World War Two, when Filipinos not only showed their Salt and Loyalty to the Good USA, we are still only vaguely noticed if ever as people and human."
LETTERS
& Posts
This is what was said in the letter between Larry Itliong and Cary McWilliams. This indicates that Larry already had past experiences of not being treated fairly even when attempting to do the right thing. This memory was most definitely one of the reasons Larry got down into politics/economy and fighting for farmers' rights, whether they were American, Mexican, or Filipino. This highlights that Larry Itliong's services were built off harsh and hated memories like his past.
Whatis That?
Awards &Rewards
That is the A.F.L.-C.I.O. charter. It is basically the official document that makes a labor union a legitimate member of the American Federation of Labor.
That is Larry Itliong in 1966 with the A.F.L.-C.I.O. charter granted to the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee. This is important because this authorizes Larry Itliong to be official members of the "government". There is also a specific criteria which is: that you have to represent millions of workers across a lot of sectors to gain this.
