Caesar Chavez

While spending time in the Bakersfield area one Spring we took a day trip.  We had heard there was a memorial to Caesar Chavez.  One of the most recognized leaders of the Latin community.  What a moving time in history.  We lived in California at that time and I remember how hard  Mr Chavez worked for his people.  It was the first time I ever heard the word activist.  Caesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta were the leaders of the movement which was called the National Farm Workers Association.  The sacrifices theses people made for their cause was amazing.  There was also a movie made about Mr Chavez and the movement.  I believe it was last year.  If you get a chance watch it if you can.

I believe the small community of Keene California is the location the this memorial.

Of course cactus and California Poppies set the scene at the entrance to the memorial.

Now if you wanna see something interesting and if you enjoy trains the Tehachapi Loop is the thing to view
