Chale homies, I was going through my photos that I've taken since my last post and I realized I NEED to take more photos, but I did find some neat ones in the end. Like the ones right here. These are some of my favorite. Mostly because I was star struck. I can't believe I got to meet Dolores Huerta. She's a super sweet lady.
Pero anyway, this is what I can remember: on Thursday, September 4, 2008 the Cesar Chavez monument was unveiled. The arch was designed by Judith Baca (the lady standing next to Dolores Huerta in the photo), she also painted the murals on the arch. Paul Chavez, son of Cesar Chavez was also there, as well as the co-founder of UFW; Dolores Huerta.
The arch has a mural of Huerta, Mohandas Karamchand Ghandi and Chavez himself and a little fountain as well. It's pretty sick.
I also remember going back to campus because I wanted to see it at night that same day. I was hoping for lights and there are lights on it, but they're tiny. It all makes sense though, because the campus is well lit. Overall, that monument is awesome and people gotta check it out considering that it took TWO years to design it and paint it and all that good stuff.
