DESCRIPTION:UNVEILING THE CESAR E. CHAVEZ STAMP:\nWHAT IT MEANS TO FARM WORKERS   
 \nPRESENTED BY   TINA FLORES \n\nCesar E. Chavez was born before his time.  
 Way back in the late 1950’s, when he was a migrant farm worker himself, 
 he protested spraying crops with pesticides since so many migrant farm 
 workers were coming down with cancer.  His fight against cancerous 
 pesticides eventually brought reform to U.S. agriculture; selling the worst 
 pesticides to American farmers was finally prohibited.  But the very same 
 pesticides were then sold to Third World countries!  Today we are eating 
 fruits and vegetables from these countries that use the same prohibited 
 pesticides on their crops! Because Cesar was a spiritual person believing 
 in the dignity and wholeness of the human being, the new stamp in his name 
 symbolizes healthy food and wholeness for all people, not only Americans.  
 Tina will show a short video on Cesar and talk about his fight for 
 wholesomeness.  His dream is being realized in Cuba where sustainable 
 farming –permaculture – has been practiced for decades.  Tina will also 
 be showing a series of short films from Cuba -- the first four to show here 
 Sunday afternoon, April 27.       \n\n
