Happy Birthday Cesar Chavez

Yes, you can!


Today, March 31, we celebrate the birthday of Cesar Chavez. I recognize this man because of his efforts to unite the farm workers and bring fair and civil treatment to them, all with Peace and non-violence as his byword.

It was three years ago that I visited La Paz, the United Farm Workers retreat, in Keene, CA. I passed through there while involved with the Longest Walk II in 2008 with American Indian Movement, A.I.M., leader, Dennis Banks. I wrote and posted This Story, and repost it today in honor of an American hero.
