About This Piece
This bust is located in the North Denver park named for César E. Chávez, a leader in the struggle for human and civil rights for farmworkers, and an instrumental player in establishing the United Farm Workers Union, a victory for a group of working class people who had historically been abandoned by law.
“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community.” -Cesar Chavez
