Cesar Chavez: A Legacy of Justice and Compassion
Early Life and Hardships Cesar Estrada Chavez was born on March 31, 1927, near Yuma, Arizona, into a Mexican-American family. His early years were tough. During the Great Depression, his family lost their farm and became migrant workers, moving across California to find jobs. As a child, Cesar worked long hours in the fields with his parents. These experiences showed him how farmworkers were treated unfairly—low pay, unsafe conditions, and discrimination.

Dolly Parton’s 5 Layer Casserole Recipe
Growing up in the 70's, casseroles were practically their own food group in my house. My mom had a favorite—some kind of ground beef concoction layered with mystery vegetables and a creamy tomato sauce, all tangled up with macaroni. It wasn’t exactly a showstopper, but man, did it hit the spot. And that’s exactly how I felt when I stumbled upon Dolly Parton’s five-ingredient, five-layer casserole. It’s not winning any beauty contests, but with a few tweaks, it’s as cozy and comforting as a big warm hug from the Queen of Country herself.
