The Mission Celebrates Cesar Chavez Day
Hundreds of activist and politicians citywide gathered on Friday at the Mission Language & Vocational School to celebrate Cesar Chavez and 50 years of the United Farm Workers Movement.
It was a who’s who of politicians and union leaders at the annual breakfast. Attendees included Mayor Ed Lee, state Senator Mark Leno and some members of the Board of Supervisors.
The speakers, which included Eliseo Median, who alongside Chavez, helped organize the United Farm Workers strike in Delano in 1965, underscored Chavez’ achievements.
