This Saturday is Caesar Chavez Day in California, Arizona, Michigan, New Mexico, and Nebraska. It celebrates the legacy of an American farm-worker who led his fellow workers toward claiming their civil rights. Along with Dolores Huerta, he started the United Farm Workers. This day was established as one in which we focus on doing service for the community. In today’s Thursday Thought quote, he reminds us of an important fact that should be everyone’s mindset.
“Preservation of one’s own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.” — Cesar Chavez
