DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the legacy of César Chávez is not about nostalgia. The issues 
 he devoted his life to are still very much with us. In California and the 
 rest of the United States, no one works harder and is paid more poorly than 
 farmworkers. It remains important to commemorate the life and work of 
 César Chávez and highlight the continuing struggles he supported.
