The marchers walked 18 miles passing through Dinuba and Reedley, receiving a warm welcome from local farmworkers in Parlier, where residents briefly joined the procession. The evening was spent at the local Church Our Lady of Sorrows and featured music, a reading of the Plan of Delano, and a performance by El Teatro Campesino. (Go to Day 8)
