Biography
Modesto "Larry" Dulay Itliong (October 25, 1913 – February 8, 1977), also known as "Seven Fingers", was a Filipino-American union organizer. He organized West Coast agricultural workers starting in the 1930s, and rose to national prominence in 1965, when he, Philip Vera Cruz, Benjamin Gines and Pete Velasco walked off the farms of area table-grape growers, demanding wages equal to the federal minimum wage, in what became known as the Delano grape strike. He has been described as "one of the fathers of the West Coast labor movement".
