Chavez was strong voice for San Joaquin laborers
Tagged: book, California, library
Cesar E. Chavez’s personal library was described as humble by a Tracy friend.
Bookshelves were assembled with 2-by-10 beams of lumber. About six or seven worn-out chairs surrounded his desk. A short farming hoe, banned in 1975, hung from a wall – a reminder of people who sustained work-related back injuries using it.
But the reading quarters served its purpose, because Chavez loved reading, said Mercedes Rea Silveira, a Tracy resident and friend of Chavez.”*
