| CÉSAR E. CHÁVEZ UC SAN DIEGO CELEBRATION |
In celebration of the life and achievements of César E. Chávez and in conjunction with the California State holiday, UC San Diego presents a month-long series of events.
César E. Chávez (born César Estrada Chávez, March 31, 1927 - April 23, 1993) was an American farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist, who, with Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (later the United Farm Workers union, UFW). President Barack Obama proclaimed March 31 as César E. Chávez Day in the United States, with Americans being urged to observe this day with appropriate service, community, and educational programs to honor César E. Chávez's enduring legacy of nonviolent social change and service to others. Although March 30th is not a federal holiday, California observes César E. Chávez Day by closing schools and state offices.
