Does YOUR city have anything named afer César Chávez?

[Sean Reynolds]

Just thought it'd be fun to ask this question. Here in Salt Lake City we've got a street through downtown SLC named after César Chávez. Actually, it's just a block south of the street named after MLK.

So does your city?

OH and if you vote yes or no, please reply with your city and what is named after him.

1. There's lots

Streets, schools.

4. From what I can gather.....

It's the more progressive communities that have something named after him. THAT or communities with a large Hispanic population.

Not exactly sure what it means for SLC because we've got a pretty large Hispanic population.

20. Late head of the United Farm Workers union.

Tireless advocate for Latino civil rights. Big claim to fame was the grape strike. UVAS NO!!! :-)

21. Wait, wait a sec... is he the fellow RFK visited?

While he was deciding whether to run or not?

[GOPisEvil]

22. Not sure, but it is quite possible.

23. I saw that in a made-for-TV RFK biography

Named, amazingly, "RFK". It was an Hispanic union leader, but I don't recall the fellow's name.

Edit: hyphenation

2. We have a road by the Minneapolis Farmer's Market

named after Mr. Chavez. It is a bit of an industrial area, but at least its something.

5. Just recently a park; soon a library in the same park.

I believe an elementary school and a street as well. These are city of Phoenix entities, I'm pretty sure in the barrios (for the uninitiated, that is NOT an offensive term) there are dozens of things.

Truly a hero in my estimation.

6. I live between Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio.

Cincy is the midwestern capitol of Fascism. So that's a resounding NO!!!. As for Dayton? I don't know:shrug:

13. Middletown? Franklin? West Chester?

MONROE???

You live by the Hustler store!

[sasquatch]

14. I live in Carlisle, Ohio

That's in between Middletown and Franklin. The locals call Middletown "Middletucky". West Chester is the closest thing we have to a gated community where I live. Very pro Bush and very fascist:(

[Whitacre D_WI]

24. Ooh. My best friend is from NEW Carlisle (up by Springfield, that is).

I'm sure I've been through Carlisle; but if it's between Middletown & Franklin, I may have missed it ;)

8. I Should Add That We Recently Had A Musical Play RE: Caesar

CC played by Edward Albert Jr. and directed by Ed Begley Jr., who is a MAJOR CC fan.

9. No, but it damn sure should.

I can't see anything in Charles County, Maryland, being named for Chavez.

We have a town of La Plata. Down here it's pronounced "la PLAY-tuh." I almost :puke: when I first heard that.

They'd pronounce the leader's name "chay-vez." :eyes:

25. no

But that's okay, it doesn't have anything named after Brigham Young or Joseph Smith either, so I don't mind living here.

SLC is hell. A grotesque a city as I have EVER driven through. Dirty, filthy, and painfully white. Good gawd, never again.
