For four years, Kailey Flores and Dulce Ramos-Gómez have organized an annual mural celebration in commemoration of the Cesar Chavez mural in Malcolm X Plaza.
Flores and Ramos-Gómez, members of the student organization, Movimiento Estudiantil para La Liberación de las Américas, have seen the event grow into celebrating far more than just Chavez as a figure, but the whole United Farm Workers movement and all farm workers collectively.
“Every year that we’ve done the mural celebration, we try to be really intentional about decentering one face or one person from the struggle,” Flores said. “We always call it the Farmworkers’ Day celebration, even though that’s not what it’s called. It’s called the Cesar Chavez Mural celebration. We also really center intersectional struggle.”
