DESCRIPTION:Revisiting The History of California Agricultural Workers And Filipino 
 Labor\nThe history of California agricultural workers is one of struggle 
 and the battle to organize for labor and human rights. \n The significant 
 role of Filipino labor leaders, including Larry Itliong, Pete Velasco and 
 others have been all but erased from history. In the recent Hollywood film, 
 their role is virtually wiped out of history, yet, the role of Filipino 
 workers were in fact critical in the early development of the formation of 
 the UFW. This panel will look at this hidden history of the agricultural 
 workers in California, and will discuss and debate the myths, half-truths 
 and omissions. Included in this history will be the purges that took place 
 in the farmworkers, why they happened and the result of these actions in 
 the struggle to organize one of the most oppressed worker sectors in our 
 society.\n Speakers include Johnny Itliong and others with personal 
 experience and direct knowledge of Filipinos in the U.S. labor movement.
