Larry Itliong and Dolores Huerta Mural San Jose

Larry Itliong was a Filipino-American labor organizer and civil rights activist who played a key role in the Delano Grape Strike of 1965, which paved the way for the establishment of the United Farm Workers (UFW) union and better working conditions. Born in the Philippines in 1913, Itliong immigrated to the United States in 1929 and became a farm worker in California. Meanwhile it was Dolores Huerta a labor leader and civil rights activist that co-founded the United Farm Workers along with Cesar Chavez.

Two years ago Andrew Espio, Owner of 1 Culture Gallery, asked Analyn Bones to showcase one of her paintings to his cannery art show. One of the paintings showed the strike that involved Larry Itliong and Cesar Chavez but there are no murals of Larry Itliong, who was just as important as Chavez.

Artists that worked on the mural included: Analyn (Ana) Bones, Jordan Gabriel, Mel Melchon, Juan Valsquez, and Miguel Machuca. The mural began on April 21, 2024 and completed this Mural on May 3rd 2024.
