California State Holiday for March 31, 2014

Today is a California state holiday in honor of the late United Farm Worker founder and president, Cesar Chavez; this date was his birthday.

In 2000, Cal Governor Gray Davis (D) signed bill into law to go into effect the next year and we have celebrated it since.  Thousand of people believed Chavez should be honored for the work he did in bringing fair treatment and dignity to farm workers across the state.

He is truly an American hero.
