Description: This monument in commemoration of the life of Cesar Chavez lives on the campus of San Jose State University in downtown San Jose, California. The arch is capped by an eagle, the symbol of the United Farm Workers, and includes mosaic murals of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta to celebrate their victories for California farm workers with a Mahatma Gandhi, Chavez' inspiration, mosaic as well. The circular mosaic path is treated with colors derived from the four Maya pre-Hispanic Codices discovered to date: Dresden, Paris, Madrid and Grolier. The arch stands in the middle of the passageway, representing the students going from having a vision to becoming an activist.
