221455 viewsCESAR CHAVEZ KNEW THE DELANO STRIKE COULD NEVER BE WON AT THE FIELD LEVEL BECAUSE THE GROWERS AND THEIR LABOR CONTRACTORS HAD THE CAPACITY TO IMPORT THOUSANDS OF STRIKEBREAKERS FROM THE MEXICAN BORDER. HE HAD TO CONJURE UP A WAY TO TRANSFORM THE CAUSE OF THE FARMWORKER MOVEMENT INTO THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT. HIS FIRST STEP WAS TO ORGANIZE A 300-MILE MARCH FROM DELANO TO SACRAMENTO, THE STATE CAPITOL, TO MEET WITH THE GOVERNOR.

THE BANNER OF THE VIRGEN, THE FLAGS OF THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO, THE LARGE WOOD CROSS ADORNED WITH ROSARY BEADS AND HUELGA BUTTONS THAT WOULD BE CARRIED, AND THE BLAZING RED HUELGA FLAGS ADORNED WITH THE AZTEC EAGLE ALL MADE PERFECT SENSE TO THE DELANO STRIKERS. THE MARCH WAS CONCEIVED AND EXECUTED AS A PUBLIC FARMWORKER MOVEMENT PAGEANT FOR NATIONAL MEDIA CONSUMPTION.
