Today is Thursday, March 31 Cesar Chavez’s birthday. We’ll be talking with United Farm Worker’s co-founder Dolores Huerta about the life, work and legacy of Cesar Chavez. Then we’ll be looking at the unfolding nuclear disaster in Japan and talk with a nuclear whistle blower about the potential catastrophe looming in the United States. First we’ll be going to the middle east and North Africa to find out how the popular uprisings are changing the political landscape of the region.
