First “Farm Workers’ Day”

TUESDAY, MARCH 31
PROGRAM #11095 12:00 PM PT

First “Farm Workers’ Day”. 

California is replacing “César Chávez Day” with “Farm Workers’ Day” as a way to honor the thousands of “women and men whose hard work feeds our nation, and whose courage… has fueled a persistent fight to secure essential worker rights and recognition of their humanity.” Fresno-based artists, whose careers have been shaped by the historic farmworkers’ movement, come together to share their memories, celebrate the community’s resilience, and honor the ongoing struggle for equity and respect. This program is made possible in part by Measure P and The Kresge Foundation.

Guests: Juan Esparza, Journalist; Andrea Torres Cano, Muralist; Guadalupe Gutiérrez, Singer; Phil Gonzales, Member of the Board of Trustees of the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture, Fresno, CA.
