The Voice of Witness education team is partnering with Professor Oliver Rosales of Bakersfield College to present a community event celebrating Larry Itliong Day and Chasing the Harvest: Migrant Workers in California Agriculture in Delano, CA.

Book editor Gabriel Thompson, narrator Heraclio Astete, and former local farmworker Maria Casillas will participate in a reading and panel discussion facilitated by Octavio Barajas. This bilingual event will include interpreters for Spanish and English.

Dr. Rosales and his students are working on Digital Delano, a web-based archive containing stories from Delano locals describing a family historical artifact. This team will be available in the hour before the event (5:00-6:00pm) to record your story!
