Diversity/Inclusion Matters

 Presidential Proclamation
Cesar Chavez Day, 2012

One of our Nation's great civil rights leaders, Cesar Estrada Chavez came of age as a migrant farm worker, witnessing the injustice that pervaded fields and vineyards across California. Facing discrimination, poverty, and dangerous working conditions, laborers toiled for little pay and without access to even the most basic necessities. Yet amidst hardship and abuse, Cesar Chavez saw the promise of change -- the unlimited potential of a community organized around a common purpose. Today, we celebrate his courage, reflect on his lifetime of advocacy, and recognize the power in each of us to lift up lives and pursue social justice.

“…Those of us in higher education must now reinvest in longstanding
commitments to collaborate with society in preparing students to
become effective workers and citizens. We need to propose specific
actions to strengthen this role—and we need to do so with a sense of
urgency.”
