Lyrics
What happens when our history's not on the page? (Yeah) There's something missing that our schools just don't say So maybe it's time that we put our stories where they belong And show respect to Larry Itliong (Itliong) Larry Itliong (Itliong) Larry Itliong Came from the Philippines To the States with fifty dollars and a dream Became a farm worker, they wasn't paying enough So he organized a strike with the team When he went to Stockton, met the AWOC Working with Cesar Chavez closely Mеxicans and Filipinos unite Teaming up for the Dеlano Grape Strike They gathered up 2000 faces To protest the low wages Five years later, they had their way That's why we got Larry Itliong Day today (Yeah) What happens when our history’s not on the page? (Yeah) There’s something missing that our schools just don’t say So maybe it’s time that we put our stories where they belong And show respect to Larry Itliong (Itliong) Much love to the (Itliong) United farm workers, Larry Itliong Itliong
