'Woodmen--In Memory of--Cesar Chavez--"CENTER"--Born 12 miles east of Somerton and passed on 12 miles south of Somerton.--No native man has brought the leaders of this country to the center of attention on the rights of farm workers like Cesar Chavez. Cesar Chavez planted a seed that will forever flourish in the rights of Farm Workers across the Country. Cesar Chavez's leadership example has created the ability for men and women to excel in the fields or in the board rooms. One man's Dream of Better Lives for his Fellow Man has Harvested changes in Politics, Social Services, and the best of all, "Human Rights." '
