César E. Chávez Memorial
San Fernando, CA
Free
By Simir Shah
A 23,000 sq ft memorial with a life-size statue of César Chávez in front of ten figures representing the farmworkers' struggle, a fountain shaped like the UFW eagle, and a roughly 100-foot mural that tells his life story. San Fernando was the first U.S. city to make his March 31 birthday an official holiday, and the city sponsors an annual march in his honor. Paved paths make it an easy, stroller-friendly history stop.
