Brown v. Board of Education is hosting a film screening featuring a new documentary film titled Viva La Causa! in celebration of the anniversary of Cesar Chavez's birthday at noon March 31.
The 40- minute film depicts one of the seminal events in the march for human rights- the grape strike and boycott led by human rights activists Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. The film highlights the parallels between the farm workers and civil rights movement. The film is from the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance Project.
The event is free and open to the public. The event is a brown bag lunch event. Attendees are welcome to bring lunch. Reservations are recommended. RSVP by March 29 by calling the Brown Foundation at (785) 235-3939 or email brownfound@juno.net.
The event is at the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site Auditorium 1515 SE Monroe Street Topeka, Kansas.
