Cesar Chavez

Wordless Wednesday: Cesar Chavez

0 · Apr 2, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Cesar Chavez Day is celebrated every year on March 31, the birth date of the famed Mexican-American labor leader and civil rights activist who helped unionize farm workers. I recently had a chance to visit a strawberry farm in Southern California with the California Strawberry Commission, where I had the chance to ask farmers questions about everything from how they grow their crops to their workers’ safety and healthcare, and immigration issues in the agricultural industry.

"If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him... the people who give you their food give you their heart." —Cesar Chavez | theothersideofthetortilla.com

I’m sharing one of my favorite Cesar Chavez quotes with you, written over a photo I took at the strawberry farm. More on that trip soon, but for today, just the quote.

  • If you’d like to know more about Cesar Chavez, you can read his biography and about his work, archives of his speeches and writing, and more, courtesy of the Cesar Chavez Foundation.
