¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Cesar!

Today is Cesar Chavez's Birthday. "On August 8, 1994, at a White House ceremony, Helen Chavez, Cesar's widow, accepted the Medal of Freedom for her late husband from President Clinton. In the citation accompanying America's highest civilian honor which was awarded posthumously, the President lauded Chavez for having 'faced formidable, often violent opposition with dignity and nonviolence."
