People dressed in red shirts, red hats, waving small UFW flags. The pheasant-feathered danzante rattling his ankle bracelets spinning a red flash of black eagle on red bandera. A group of friends, one a Frida look-alike, stand in the sun holding out a recycled banner that reads like yesterday's news. Today, the holiday validated, the cause acknowledged, the sign amended. Cesar Chavez Day is a holiday.
Personal tributes abound.
Newsmedia come out in force, interviewing, setting up cameras to record the event. The LA Times' reporter even brings her translator along to capture a few pithy quotes, none of which appear in the next day's coverage. Cesar's People stand outside, with raza, together. We are one.
