Today is Cesar Chavez Day in Tucson. I used to do a radio show on KXCI every year in Chavez’s honor, and I was lucky that I found the following one from 2014 so that I could share it with you today. I dedicate this to my brother Richard Elias, who was a fierce union supporter. He showed up to every single Cesar Chavez day march and rally in Tucson, from the first to the last.
The following three hour program, a special edition of “The Home Stretch”, is divided into three sections below. I didn’t add the playlists this time around, but the songs are all announced during the show.
