An American Leader - Cesar E. Chavez
Latino Museum of History, Art and Culture, Los Angeles
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
