"The property in Keene, California, known as Nuestra Señora Reina de la
Paz (Our Lady Queen of Peace) (La Paz), is recognized for its historic
significance to César Estrada Chávez and the farm worker movement. César
Chávez is one of the most revered civil rights leaders in the history
of the United States. From humble beginnings in Yuma, Arizona, to the
founding of the United Farm Workers (UFW) movement, César Chávez knew
firsthand the hard work of farm workers in the fields across the United
States and their contribution to feeding the Nation. He saw and
experienced the difficult conditions and hardships that confronted farm
worker families. And through his hard work, perseverance, and personal
sacrifice, he dedicated his life to the struggle for respect and dignity
for the farm workers of America..."
