Historic groundbreaking of Cesar Chavez Foundation low-income housing project (90 units of future affordable housing in Eastside Pomona) – with Paul Chavez, dignitaries, and community. The housing project is named after Rev. Chris Hartmire who recently passed away at Pilgrim Place in Claremont- after a life of organizing – with the freedom riders in the early years of the civil rights movement – and later led the CA migrant ministry in supporting the UFW in strikes, boycotts, marches, and numerous farmworker campaigns. While at Pilgrim Place, Chris did not stop but came out various times over the years to support the unionization of workers at both Pomona and Pitzer colleges – and to share his life’s story in my classes. We had various lunches together reminiscing on the many years that he gave of his life to the California Migrant Ministry and the UFW – and the connections he made in his life between organizing, spirituality, and becoming one with the farmworker cause.
