FLINT, MI — The Latinx Technology & Community Center will host its annual National Cesar Chavez Day luncheon on Saturday, March 29, at the Flint Institute of Arts (FIA) to honor the life and legacy of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, two pivotal figures in the fight for labor and civil rights.
Observed as a federal holiday on March 31, National Cesar Chavez Day recognizes the contributions of Chavez, co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW), who championed labor rights and fair treatment for farmworkers across the country.
The event also pays tribute to Dolores Huerta, a human rights activist and key leader in the movement for workers’ rights. Both Chavez and Huerta have been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, for their lifelong dedication to justice and equality.
The luncheon will highlight their achievements, impact, and lasting influence on the civil rights movement. Attendees will enjoy a keynote speech, cultural performances, and a menu featuring traditional Latin American cuisine.
The event is open to the public. For tickets, sponsorships and additional information, contact the Latinx Technology & Community Center at 810-715-5050.
