César Chávez Day

Please join the Latinx Center in commemorating the life of César Chávez on his birthday, March 31. We will honor his legacy with food, community, and conversation. This year’s theme, “Organizing in the Chávez Tradition,” will be a panel inspired by Chávez’s speech “On the NFWA,” delivered to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. This discussion will explore how the NFWA (National Farm Workers Association) emphasized community-based organizing over traditional organizing tactics.

The Latinx Center at The University of Denver advances critical interdisciplinary research, scholarly and creative work, and curricular development related to the historical, political, cultural, and intellectual legacy of Latinx people. The Latinx Center promotes excellence in scholarship and teaching to reflect the cultural experiences of Latinx people across the globe.

Through its varied scholarly and cultural activities and events, the center promotes a vision rooted in social justice and equity and is an essential participant in a cultural and intellectual process of empowerment and transformation.

This event will be open to all members of the DU campus and the broader community. This gathering provides an opportunity for consideration, conversation, and community.

We look forward to seeing you there!
