Hispanic Heritage Film Tonight

Photo Submitted

University Programs shows Cesar Chavez as the Hispanic Heritage Month film at 7 tonight, Sept. 18, in the University Programs Video Theater in the Arkansas Union. Free popcorn and drinks will be provided to those who attend.

Chronicling the birth of a modern American movement, Cesar Chavez tells the story of the famed civil rights leader and labor organizer torn between his duties as a husband and father and his commitment to securing a living wage for farm workers. Passionate but soft-spoken, Chavez embraced non-violence as he battled greed and prejudice in his struggle to bring dignity to people. Chavez inspired millions of Americans from all walks of life who never worked on a farm to fight for social justice. His triumphant journey is a remarkable testament to the power of one individual's ability to change the world.
