Michigan State University faculty join together at the MSU Main Library for a reading event entitled, "Cesar E. Chavez Commemoration: We Are All Arizona". The group reads from books recently banned in the state of Arizona, a state which has also passed laws to eliminate Hispanic studies in the state school system. Selected works include "Codex tamuanchan: on becoming human" by R. Rodrigueq, "Pedagogy of the oppressed" by Paulo Freire and "For whom the Taco Bell tolls" by Elizabeth Martinez. The group also celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the United Farm Workers union founded by Chavez and Dolores Huerta. A question and answer session follows. The event is moderated by MSU Librarian Diana Rivera.
