Cesar Chavez Day
Today, we honor a legacy of the civil rights and labor movement activist, Cesar Chavez. An American hero, Chavez led the non-violent movement in the mid-1900s that paved the way for better wages and working conditions which nearly 2.5 million farmworkers benefit from today. A Mexican American, Chavez grew up in a farming community in Yuma, AZ in the 1930s.
Thank you Cesar Chavez Elementary for honoring such a brave activist and educating our students on why we continue to remember Cesar Chavez. ❤️
