Highlights from DIVA - Cesar Chavez

Cesar Chavez Day is familiar to most people residing in California, but how much do you really know about the man and the movement that gave us this holiday?  DIVA hosts an abundance of material on Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, mainly in the Cesar Chavez Collection of the San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive.  Take a look at the collection to see videos like this one that include diverse opinions and issues with agricultural labor that Chavez sought to change.  Don't miss this interview with Chavez filmed during the early stages of his movement that details the history and goals of the UFW, a union that Chavez created in order to attain better working conditions for farm workers.  Today we remember Chavez and his feats accomplished through hard work and nonviolent protests by honoring him with a special holiday; take a look at this video to see how Chavez was remembered and honored after his death.
