WHO????

He was a union leader for farm workers and a civil rights activist. He founded the National Farm Workers Association in the 60s. What's sad is that I don't remember learning about him in school.

They'll eventually combine MLK & Cesar Chavez Day to one Civil Rights Day like they did for Washington & Lincoln's respective birthdays into one President's day.

I would like to see us celebrate Jonah Salk... the guy who invented the Polio vaccine.  Helps everyone, worldwide.
