The movie Salt of the Earth will be shown at Arte Americas, 1630 Van Ness Avenue in downtown Fresno. Salt of the Earth (1954) is based on a 1950 strike by zinc miners in Silver City, New Mexico. Against a backdrop of social injustice, a riveting family drama is played out by the characters of Ramon and Esperanza Quintero, a Mexican-American miner and his wife. This movie was the only blacklisted film ever in American film history. Free Admission. For more information see: http://www.archive.org/details/salt_of_the_earth and http://www.arteamericas.org/

Vigil at Courthouse Park. The Committee Cesar E. Chavez CO-CE-CHA and the City of Fresno's Human Relations Commission invite all communities to join in the 14th Annual Cesar Chavez Celebration. Y TODAVIA SE PUEDE / YES, WE STILL CAN …...…. continue the fight for justice for all people. This year CO-CE-CHA demands a stop to all anti-immigrants raids. These inhumane raids are causing fear; nightmares in many children who will be separated from their parents who face the risk of being deported daily. Stop the injustice, inhumane, raids, NOW.

CO-CE-CHA is made up of different community based organizations led by young community leaders and college students. We honor our great leader and hero of the Civil Rights Movement. We believe it is extremely important for the future generation to continue the work that Cesar began.
