Episodio número 6 César Chávez: ¡Sí se puede! La palabra del día es campesino. Un campesino es una persona que trabajaba en el campo. El 31 de marzo es Día de César Chávez. Desde el pequeño pueblo de Delano California, un hombre tocó la vida de millones de estadounidenses e hizo historia. La vida y legado de César Chávez es que mejoró las condiciones del trabajador campesino e inspiró a la humanidad a luchar pacíficamente en contra de la injusticia. Chávez creía en la oportunidad para todos e igualdad en los Estados Unidos. Mejoró las condiciones del trabajador del campo y nos dejó un legado de servir a nuestro prójimo. Prójimo quiere decir otro ser humano. César Chávez nació el 31 de marzo de 1927 en Yuma, Arizona. Realmente, su nombre es Cesario, pero cuando asistía a la escuela primaria los maestros le cambiaron el nombre a Cesar. Estos maestros también le prohibían hablar español. Sus compañeros se burlaban de él por su apariencia mexicana. El racismo prevalecía en Estados Unidos. En ese tiempo, algunos negocios y restaurantes solo aceptaban clientes blancos. Las personas hispanas y afro-americanas no podían entrar a ciertos negocios, restaurantes o baños públicos. Había anuncios que leían "Whites Only". Después de perder su casa durante la Gran Depresión, la familia se mudó a California. En California, los padres de César Chávez trabajaban arduamente en el campo y les pagaban muy poco. Arduamente quiere decir de manera muy dificultosa. César trabajaba en el campo los fines de semana y los días festivos. En 1942, se graduó del octavo grado y dejó los estudios para ayudar a su familia y trabajar en el campo. En 1946, César se inscribió en la Marina de Los Estados Unidos. Después de dos años recibió licencia honrosa. Licencia honrosa quiere decir que la Marina de Los Estados Unidos le dio permiso de dejar el ejército. Entonces se mudó a Delano, California para trabajar de campesino. Un sinónimo de campesino es granjero. Después se mudó a San José donde trabajó en una organización que defendía los derechos civiles de méxico-americanos llamada "Community Service Organization". Mientras trabajaba para esta organización, leyó las biografías de San Francisco de Asís y Gandhi. En estas historias biográficas aprendió sobre protestas pacíficas. Las protestas pacíficas son protestas sin violencia. En 1962, César Chávez fundó la Asociación Nacional de Campesinos. Su primera huelga fue en 1965. Una huelga es una protesta dónde los trabajadores paran de trabajar hasta que los empleadores cumplan lo que los trabajadores piden. Unos trabajadores del campo le pidieron ayuda a la Asociación de Campesinos para negociar mejores sueldos. El 3 de mayo de 1965, Chávez les ayudó a organizar una huelga. Después de cuatro días de huelga, la compañía aceptó las demandas de los trabajadores y los campesinos regresaron a trabajar. En ese mismo año, Chávez y la Asociación Nacional de Campesinos, ayudaron a protestar a un grupo de filipino-americanos en contra de los cultivadores, dueños de campos de uva. En marzo de 1966, Chávez y 50 otras personas salieron de Delano, California hacia Sacramento, California, la capital del estado. Fue una procesión de 300 millas. La marcha contenía simbolismos católicos. Los manifestantes cargaban crucifijos y una pancarta de la Virgen de Guadalupe y usaban el slogan "Peregrinación, Penitencia, Revolución". Una pancarta es similar a una bandera o a un cartel. Llegaron a Sacramento el domingo Pascua de Resurrección. Ocho mil personas se presentaron frente al capitolio del estado. También, en febrero de 1968, César Chávez inició un ayuno para refirmar su determinación de protestar pacíficamente... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode you will learn how Kema Charles went from in front of the camera as an Actress to the Founder of Light Camera Discover.  A non profit teaching our youth teamwork and STEM through filmmaking and animation. Kema Charles was born in Oak Park, IL and also spent some time living in Pensacola, FL. She was more of an athlete and never considered acting until she took her first acting class in Orlando in 1999. This leap of faith paid off, as she scored her first acting role in 2000 on the acclaimed show "Sheena".From there, Kema decided to leave the east coast and try to see if the entertainment business had a place for her. Due to family situations she only stayed in Los Angeles for about two years. While back in Orlando she then went on to work on other projects as well as scoring a role in the movie "Impiety" (with Wreaking Havoc Productions). In 2007 she produced her first film "Jamaican Me Crazy" (with DramaQueen Productions) in Atlanta, GA. At that time she realized that she was not done with Los Angeles, and moved back to the "City of Angels.In 2009 while producing projects with Phalanx Entertainment she discovered her true destiny and birthed Circle C Entertainment. Under the Circle C Entertainment and Phalanx Entertainment umbrella Kema had the opportunity to direct and produce the music video "Thinking About You" by Raz B (of the Multi-platinum selling group B2K and the hit show "Love and Hip Hop Hollywood").Afterwards, the budding entrepreneur took her skillsets to Africa as Director of Operations for a filmmaking program in Abuja, Nigeria. While spending time with the students, she rediscovered her first love in the entertainment world - acting. Upon her return from Africa she landed a role in the stage play "You Reap What You Sow" (a production of Stephanie Singleton).In 2011, Kema birthed "Lights Camera Discover" (LCD) a non-profit organization that teaches youth teamwork by way of filmmaking and animation. For the past nine years, she has run LCD in four different states. The organization is growing every year and Kema has received numerous awards and recognition on behalf of her tireless work with LCD. Some of these awards are the NBC Channel 12 "Non-profit Spotlight Award" in June 2018, the South by Southwest "Community Service Organization" award in March 2019, a city of "Phoenix Mayor Awards: Innovative Arts Organization" Finalist in October 2019. Recently, she was awarded the "Phoenix Suns Golden Standard" Award Winner in February 2020.Website: https://lightscameradiscover.org Instagram: https://instagram.com/lcdprograms Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kema-charles-18392220/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/lcdprograms Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lcdprograms Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/lightscameradiscoverHost: Shereka JacksonFacebook: Shereka D Jackson Instagram: Shereka Jackson Website: Shereka Jackson   

San Jose’s Raza community has a rich history and tradition of impactful community organizing that goes back to the 1950s and the founding of the local chapter of The Community Service Organization led by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Blanca Alvarado, and many others. The emergence of United People Arriba and La Confederacion de La Raza Unida led by Ernestina Garcia, Sofia Mendoza, Rachel Silva and Joaquin Brito in the ’60s led to further political and economic empowerment, culminating in today having 5 members of La Raza, including three women, serving on the San Jose City Council. One activist who remains on the front lines is Danny Garza who can be described as a gadfly: “a person who interferes with the status quo.” Whether the issue is environmental racism, quality of life issues, economic development, gang problems or a host of other issues, Danny is the champion of East Side neighborhood associations in the Plata Arroyo, Cassell and Mayfair areas, people who live like the residents of Sal Si Puedes (get out if you can) barrio did 60 years ago: unequal, forgotten and invisible. Danny possesses the energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of righteous indignation that calls to mind the line in the Teddy Pendergrass song “Wake Up Everybody”: “ The World won’t get no better if you let it be. Wake Up, Everybody!”

The Community Service Organization was a grassroots effort launched in the 1940's that empowered a generation of Mexican-Americans, including Cesar Chavez. Poor immigrants were able to move into the mainstream of American society through voter registration drives, lawsuits and legislative campaigns. Now, over 50 years later, the leaders of the movement reflect on the impact. Series: "Immigration" [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 18203]
