On March 17, 1966, sixty-seven picketers, organizers, and supporters\u2014including photographers John Kouns<\/a> and Jon Lewis\u2014started a farmworker march from Delano to Sacramento to bring public awareness of the grape strike and boycott, and to pressure Governor Pat Brown to urge growers to the bargaining table. Under the motto Pilgrimage, Penance, and Revolution, these 67 original marchers (los originales) would cross more than 50 towns and cities in California\u2019s Central Valley while hundreds, and in some places, thousands, of people joined the march.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the intersection of Albany and Garces Highway, however, two dozen police officers blocked the road arguing that the marchers needed a permit. Reporters from the national press who were in Delano the previous day for the hearings by the U.S. Subcommittee on Migratory Labor, headed by Senator Robert Kennedy, registered the standoff.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#D22030″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#D22030″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/17.41.JK_.N35.B7.03.01-1.png” alt=”Delano police officers blocking strikers on the first day of the pilgrimage to Sacramento, Delano, 1966″ title_text=”Delano police officers blocking strikers on the first day of the pilgrimage to Sacramento, Delano, 1966″ url=”https:\/\/cdm17169.contentdm.oclc.org\/digital\/collection\/FMC\/id\/2515″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”40px” text_line_height=”1.2em” width=”94.3%” custom_padding=”|||36px||” global_colors_info=”{}”]Delano police officers blocking strikers on the first day of the pilgrimage to Sacramento.

Police Chief James Ailes led the group of officers that blocked the marchers from continuing along Highway 99. When confronted by the police, some marchers fell to their knees and prayed, allowing the newsmen present to capture photographs. According to picket captain Roberto Bustos, the marchers were held up for three hours before being allowed to proceed.<\/p>\n

A phone call from Senator Kennedy to the Delano police chief finally ended the impasse, according to Roberto \u201cEl Capit\u00e1n\u201d Bustos<\/a>, a farmworker and striker who led the marchers for almost their entire journey to Sacramento. After walking for 17 miles, around 70 marchers arrived at Ducor, where they listened to Luis Valdez reading the Plan of Delano before going to bed. (Go to Day 2<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
