¡Sí, Se Puede! Yes, we can! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ César E. Chávez revolutionized labor participation in our political age by organizing the first agricultural union. At the César E. Chávez National Monument visitors can learn about the history of the man who led farm workers and supporters in the establishment of the country's first permanent agricultural union. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Located in Keene, California, within the property known as Nuestra Señora Reina de La Paz (Our Lady Queen of Peace), the Monument commemorates the home and final resting place of renowned civil rights activist. The property also served as the former headquarters for the labor movement he helped create – the United Farm Workers of America (UFW). Learn more cesarechaveznps ⁣⁣ Image 1: Portrait of César E.
