On March 31, we celebrate the man who led the movement calling for equal rights and fair treatment for workers, especially farm workers. The impact he left on the community began in San Jose.

"History came together here in this neighborhood," Martinez said."Cesar was the person who took all their knowledge and knew how to use it with the Mexican community, with the nation and the world."From the Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park Downtown, to Paseo de Cesar Chavez at San Jose State University. His impact will never be forgotten.

Chavez' great niece, Rachel Garcia, still lives on the land where he lived just blocks away from where he learned to start the movement. It is a historical landmark and a significant location to those who followed his lead."He started his work here, his spirit lives here," La Raza Historical Society Secretary Joel Herrera said."Anytime I have an accomplishment, I come by here to say thank you to him for leading the way.

One of Chavez' sayings was"Viva La Causa" also known as long live the cause. His cause was to give back to the community through action and for that we say thank you.
