Pilgrimage to Sacramento
The farm workers of Delano are approaching the end of their three hundred mile pilgrimage to Sacramento. Their march is a symbol of many years or humiliation and suffering, it is also symbolic of new courage and of the farm workers’; continuing hope in the democratic process as they lay their cause on the conscience of the Governor and the people of this State.
