Ten years ago, President Obama proclaimed March 31st as Cesar Chavez Day, a new U.S. federal commemorative holiday! Today is a time to honor the memory of civil rights and labor movement activist Cesar Chavez. He's widely regarded as the most influential Latino leader of the twentieth century for his role in establishing the country's first permanent agricultural union. The cesarechaveznps in #California pays tribute to his legacy. #CesarChavez #NationalMonument #CesarEChavez #CivilRights #LaborMovement #Latino #LatinoLeader #AgriculturalUnion 📸: NationalParkService Image: President barackobama Speaking at the Dedication of César E.
