<P>Philip Vera Cruz came to the United States from the Philippines in search of an education. Instead, he became a farmworker to survive. This turn of events led Philip and other Filipino farmworkers, the manongs, to start the historic strike in Delano, California that led to a grape boycott and the birth of the infamous United Farm Workers union. Learn about Philip Vera Cruz's life and accomplishments in this nonfiction biography, part of the <EM>Leaders Like Us</EM> series. Featuring 24 pages with vibrant illustrations, this children’s book also includes a timeline, post-reading questions, and an interactive activity to help develop reading comprehension skills.</P>
