FROM WHAT VANTAGE POINT DID PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS SHOOT THIS PHOTO? THE VINEYARD SCENE IS ONE OF HARVESTING AND PACKING TABLE GRAPES, BUT HOW DID THE HUELGA FLAG FIND THIS HEIGHT? PERHAPS LEWIS CLIMBED A TELEPHONE POLE AND TOOK THE FLAG WITH HIM.

THE HANDS OF THE DELANO STRIKERS SAY IT ALL

HERE THE PICKET LINE IS SET UP ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE HARVESTING AND PACKING OF TABLE GRAPES.
