"An American Leader - Cesar E. Chavez"
2000-03-29 until 2000-08-18
Latino Museum of History, Art and Culture
Los Angeles, CA, USA United States of America

This exhibition celebrates the life and times of Cesar E. Chavez through a unique collection of artistic photographs and the historical insight of the United Farm Workers and the American Civil Rights Movement. The Cesar E. Chavez photographs on display are the work of UFW staff members, as well as local and internationally recognized photographers. The exhibition is made up of timeless images of Cesar E. Chavez with various well-known personalities, California political leaders and the American people whom he met and worked with. This exhibition brings to teachers, students and the general public, the historical, literary and artistic documentation that testifies to the life of a great American and his place within our country’s history.

In addition, a catalogue of sixty photographs is being produced along with essays by professors and scholars. This catalogue contextualizes Chavez within American History. A mural painted by LAUSD students from TLM’s own after school Art Program will be on display in association with the exhibition.

The Cesar E. Chavez Foundation is endorsing this exhibition.
