Description
-
This 2007 edition of Northern Arizona University’s student-run newspaper, The Lumberjack, covered the third annual Cesar Chavez march in Flagstaff, Arizona. The article provides insight into some of the important reforms that the United Farm Workers association secured for migrant farm workers in the American Southwest, including better wages and working conditions. Participants praised the UFW’s leaders Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta for their political activism which was responsible for such reforms. They carried posters bearing the UFW’s symbol, pictures of Cesar Chavez, and other symbols from the Civil Rights movement such as the raised fist. NAU’s Hispanic student organization, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlán (M.E.Ch.A), founded the annual march in April of 2005. Subsequent marches, like this one from 2007, brought Flagstaff’s Hispanic population together to celebrate their heritage and cultural icons.
