César Chávez Day

It's a Holiday here in the UC system. Cesar Chavez, civil rights activist and hero for farm workers in America was born today (actually tomorrow the 31st). Being an Ag school in California, we can't help but recognize and appreciate the struggles of those who toil in the fields everyday helping make the food we eat which sustains us all. This man was truly one of the finest Americans we've ever had.

Hug a farmer today, and remember Cesar Chavez.
