Happy Cesar Chavez Day!

Cesar Chavez Day is a federal commemorative holiday in the U.S. by proclamation of President Obama in 2014. On March 31 of each year, it celebrates the birth and legacy of the civil rights and labor movement activist Cesar Chavez, the iconic farm labor leader and co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW).

The White House blog does not mention the holiday in the posts today, although a picture is posted of the President and the Danish Prime Minister.
