March, from page 1
fornia and across the country to
join in the march in honor of
Chavez.
Cynthia Peters came all the
way from Northfield, Minn.
She took a Greyhound bus for 2
1/2 days to join the march in
Sanger on April 8.
When she attended Carlton
College in Minnesota a few years
before, she said she was involved
with organizing grapes-boycotts
on campus. "One thug (which
caused me to come) is that I am
"taking time off of school right
now," said Peters. She said a
friend who works for the UFW
in San Francisco called her to
tell her aboutthe march, and the
next thing she knew, she wason
her way to California.
Louie Rodriguez, Brown
Beret Sergeant at Arms, is help¬
ing with security for the march.
Rodriguez said he was going al 1
the way to Sacramento despite
his aswollen leg due to water on
his left knee. "I came to support
Cesar Chavez and to support the
Brown Berets. We supported
Cesar Chavez back in the 60' s
and we still continue to do it to this
day," said Rodriguez.
"We do it because we enjoy it-
it's a good cause to go for. People
need equal
rights. With
Cesar
Chavez'
death . it

Lisa Casarez, ASI senator at
large, went to the inarch with her
children on Sunday. She said that
her father Was a campesino and
"The pilgrimage is about recommit¬
ment and penance. Recommitment to
building a national union for farm

in Northwest Fresno on Sunday.
marched with Chavez back in 1966
on the original march to Sacra¬
mento. When he returned, their
family, along with four other fami¬
lies, was thrown out on the street
by the overseer of the labor camp
for being union supporters.
She brought her kids with her to
the march to teach them the impor¬
tance of remembering the people
who gave their time and lives for
La Causa so
that the next
generation,
could have a
better life.

American. On
the weekends,
the. group
swells to any¬
where from
300-500 par¬
ticipants as
others from all
races and cultures come from all
over California to join in.
Luis Alarcon, Associated Stu¬
dent Body President from Rio
Hondo College in Whittier, Caif.,
has attended the march for the last
two weekends.   He arrived last
weekend in Fresno with bis
friend Alison Kreidor of San
Diego and a Winnebago full of
students from the MECHA con¬
ference in Bakersfield.
Amid calls of Si se puede!
(*r%s, it can be done!) and Viva
Cesar Chavez! (Longlive Cesar
Chavez!), Jose Martinez and
AmadoCoronado brought tears
to the eyes of many with their
determination and spirit
They developed painful blis¬
ters on their hands as they trav¬
eled in wheelchairs on the way
to Sacramento
Each morning the marchers
begin the day with a Mass to
give strength for the march
ahead. Some assemble outdoors
" and perform indigenous cer*
emonies of 'he Aztec and
Mayan people. Others choose
to quietly meditate and gather
their thoughts before they head
out on the march.
Whatever personal belief
each holds, they all join together
as one and steadily travel north¬
ward for yet another day in the
\ pilgrimage towards Sacramento.
