Hello Profile Managers!

We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.

Thanks!

I heard Cesar Chavez speak at the AFLCIO conference in Miami when I was a child. My father took me to the conference. It had a tremendous impact on me. He was an amazing speaker. Even as a child, I was very moved.
