Delano Grape Strike

The Delano grape strike of 1965 is an event that has been appearing over and over in Sacramento County.

Earlier in the year, individuals could have attended a speaking engagement of Andy Imutan, who was present at the grape strike. A couple of chapters of Chi Rho Omicron, Inc. have had the grape strike topic as the focus of their cultural events. Different entries in Sacramento County History Day (SCHD) related the grape strike to this year's theme "Individuals in History: Actions and Legacies."

While the role of individuals of Philippine descent in the grape strike is often overlooked, it is a hope that every group's contribution to history is acknowledged.
