The plaque says, "On September 29, 1976, Cesar Chavez spoke at University Theater at UC Riverside. The Latino American civil rights leader and co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW) often visited campuses inviting student support of his causes.
When he visited UCR, Chavez was promoting a ballot measure which would allow unions to recruit members on growers' land. Though California voters defeated the proposition, Chavez persevered as he had in the face of other adversities continuing his quest of "protecting human rights of farm workers.""
