Description: A white building with a red tile roof and red-orange stairs leading up to a black door that goes into the building. Tall slim trees line the path to the building and there are bushes and smaller trees throughout the garden. The building was originally built as a hospital for the Kern County sanatorium. Cesar Chavez used this building as an educational center where activists learned techniques that promoted the goals of the farmworker movement. Here, thousands of people learned the principles of nonviolence and the skills to administer a growing organization. Keywords: California history; cesar chavez; labor history; labor movement
