César E. Chávez & Dolores Huerta Commemorative Celebration

Thu, March 12, 2020 at Kellogg Center

Each year, the Michigan State University, Greater Lansing, and East Lansing communities gather at MSU to honor the legacy of two of the most prominent U.S. labor leaders and civil rights activists, César E. Chávez and Dolores Huerta. The commemorative celebration includes a student leadership conference, community luncheon, where community leadership awards are announced, and a march to the MSU Libraries for a tour and brief presentation at the Cesar Chavez Collection.

This program would not be possible without the help of colleagues and friends who support diversity, equity and inclusion. The list continues to grow, and we want to acknowledge and thank everyone:
