Welcome back from spring break! Let’s start this week off strong with this motivational quote!

Let Cesar Chavez Day, on March 31, be a day of community service to respect the work of Cesar and Dolores.

For someone whose family described as an ordinary man, Cesar Chavez has set the bar high and left an immense legacy for modern-day activists to follow. He co-founded the United Farm Workers (formerly the National Farm Workers Association) with Dolores Huerta, who is a union leader and civil rights advocate in her own right. Huerta lobbied for better working conditions and benefits for local farmers and non-US migrant workers. On top of that, Huerta also fought segregation, police brutality, and racial discrimination.

Let’s take a look at a historical event that happened in Colombia! Ingrid Betancourt was a Colombian politician that was kidnapped by Farc, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia in 2002. It wasn’t until six and a half years until she was rescued, which’s gained global attention.
