We stopped by the Cesar E Chavez National Monument on our drive from Arizona to Washington. This is a small monument, 30 miles southeast of Bakersfield CA, honoring the work of a man who, along with others, worked to bring justice and hope to farmworkers and their families.
Cesar Chavez lived and was buried here. They also moved the United Farm Workers union to this location in 1971 to focus on building a nonviolent movement. There is a Memorial Garden and visitor center (which was closed due to COVID-19). There wasn’t much to see but since we were driving right by, we decided to stop.
