Remembering the Struggle: the Watsonville Cannery Strikes of 1985-1987 is a public remembrance process taking place from July to September 2008. [ more... ]
We're working with Viernes Cultural to hold a commemoration event for the strike as part of the exhibit. For those unfamiliar with Viernes Cultural, it's a celebration held on the first Friday of every month that highlights the culture of Watsonville as part of a community celebration. A lot of dedicated folks make this happen month after month and the events are always rewarding to attend.
This month, the focus of the event is Celebrating Diversity. Here's what is planned:
Vive Oaxaca - Centeotl dance group | sangre antigua - fandango, live music | Rainbow Squad - WHS Cheerleading | Orators | Visual Arts | Poetry
Come out and celebrate with us this Friday in the Downtown Plaza!
