PASADENA – On Saturday, El Centro de Accion Social sponsored a celebration and commemoration of Mexican-American labor leader Cesar Chavez.

The commemoration ceremony began at 10 a.m. at the Villa Park Community Center with an introduction by Randy Jurado Ertll, the executive director of El Centro de Accion Social. Awards were then given to local grade school students for their essays on Cesar Chavez.

Brief statements by Councilwoman Jackie Robinson and state Sen. Carol Liu regarding the importance of working for peace in the greater community followed.

The keynote speaker was poet, novelist, and essayist Luis J. Rodriguez. Best known for his book “Always Running: La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.,” Rodriguez delivered an

impassioned speech encouraging and inspiring the some 250 local students to avoid the perils of drug use and gang involvement. He quoted the famed Chavez, advising the students to emulate him by working for the betterment of their community.

The ceremony ended at 11a.m. and was followed by the annual Walk for Peace and Unity to Jacque Robinson Park.

  8. I think that everything posted was very reasonable.
    But, think on this, what if you were to write a killer post title?
    I ain’t suggesting your content isn’t solid, however what if you added something to possibly
    grab a person’s attention? I mean Cesar Chavez Commemoration & Peace Walk | Randy Jurado Ertll is a
    little vanilla. You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create article titles to grab people to open
    the links. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve written.
    Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.|
