 Please join us in celebrating the 40^th Anniversary of Cesar Chavez’s 1968 Fast for non-violence.  The 1968 Fast was a pivotal event that defined the character and core values of the farm worker movement. Highlights include the unveiling of a new photo exhibit focused on the fast, and panel discussions led by eye witnesses of Cesar’s fast.  Come and enjoy live music and food in the memorial garden.
