This month has a lot to CELEBRATE, from my grandbaby Laurita\u2019s birthday to C\u00e9sario (C\u00e9sar) Estrada Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s birthday. C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez was born on March 31, 1927, in Yuma, Arizona, and died on April 23, 1993, in San Luis, Arizona.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez was an American labor leader, civil rights activist, and member of the oldest pacifist organization in the U.S., the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR)-USA. He was the founder of the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers labor union. He advocated and successfully achieved \u201cestablishing minimum wage standards, wage contracts, safer working conditions, child labor reforms, and advancements in civil rights for Chicanos and other farm workers\u201d (For more information and to use in your classrooms, reference: Learning to Give: Chavez, Cesar, for Grade Levels 6-12 at <\/em>https:\/\/www.learningtogive.org\/resources\/<\/em><\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n

Next week<\/u> La Prensa, Inc. will be honoring Mr. C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez with a \u201cspecial edition\u201d dedicated to OUR legend and for his birthday.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez, who visited Toledo and Northwest Ohio, marched in protest for US and against corporate greed and was a great friend to Baldemar Velasquez of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) and numerous other local leaders in our community. On numerous occasions, I have even heard my friend Raquel Bravo tell me stories of when he would stay over at her house with her family when he was in town. I, personally, even have fond memories of my mother taking me to conventions and marches, wearing the National Farm Workers Association \u201cred\u201d armbands, and holding my \u201cSi Se Puede\u201d flag in the air. If it wasn\u2019t for C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez and the local Latinx community that organized and hosted him, I would never have learned of Latinx Spanish-speaking writers, artists, and activists or how strong our community can be when we ALL come together.<\/p>\n

Now is the time to celebrate him and the pride we have in OUR LATINX COMMUNITY. If you have photos or words you want to be included in next week\u2019s edition, please email them to me at <\/strong>linda@laprensa1.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
