The share of the total wealth in the US owned by the top 0.1% of the population, about 32 160,000 households, has grown from 7% in 1978 to 22% in 2012, the highest levels since the Great Depression (Saez 33 & Zucman, 2016). -

Leroy Chatfield 1963-1973
LeRoy Chatfield 1963–1973 The NFWA, etc. Documentation Project “Cesar Chavez and His Farmworker Movement” Dedication: To each volunteer in the farmworker movement who worked with such energy, dedication, and self-sacrifice to build the first farm labor union in the history of the United States. If I have anything to say about it, your good work will not go undocumented. Chapter One Interview with Professor Paul Henggeler In Memoriam: Paul R Henggeler Professor of History, University of Texas–Pan American December 12, 2004 I never met Professor Henggeler in person nor talked with him on the telephone. Our only communication was by way of letter and email. He first wrote in November of 2002, asking for my cooperation by answering some of his questions about Cesar Chavez. I agreed to do so, but only in writing. For the next six months he asked pages of questions, and I answered them. It was this exchange with Professor Henggeler that laid the groundwork for the creation of the farmworker documentation project, which began in May of 2003. Now, 20 months later, 188 essays have been written, several thousand emails have been exchanged, and almost 1000 former farmworker movement volunteers have been identified and contacted. All of this can be traced back to the research of one young academic historian. But now he is gone. Not yet 50 years old, he died of an apparent heart attack on July 22, 2004. What a great loss. I know nothing about him personally, except that he was married. I know from our correspondence that he spent the past six years of his life researching and writing about “Cesar Chavez’s leadership of the farmworker movement.” In one of my last communications with Paul, he wrote, “Hi, LeRoy: I can’t thank you enough for the CD-ROM (the essays) and your decision to get folks ‘talking’ about their experiences in the UFW before it all evaporates.” For my part, I cannot thank Paul enough for his support, and affirmation of the documentation project. -
Problems in Simulating Social Reality: Observations on a MUD Construction
SIMULATIONLin, Sun / OBSERVATIONS & GAMING /ON March A MUD 2003 CONSTRUCTION ARTICLE10.1177/1046878102250607 Problems in simulating social reality: Observations on a MUD construction Holin Lin National Taiwan University Chuen-Tsai Sun National Chiao Tung University The authors look at computer-mediated simulation as an approach to studying social science issues and dis- cuss its limitations, with the design process for a Multiple-User Dungeon (MUD) game serving as a context. Using data gleaned from interviews with the MUD designers, the authors present three findings: (a) fun is a key difference between simulations and reality, because a MUD user can always walk away from a game that is not fun but cannot walk away from difficult real-life situations; (b) simulated social systems require time and commitment from a fairly large population, which conflicts with the typical level of patience observed in most computer game players; and (c) the roles of technicians and designers as mediators in simulated social environments is an area requiring detailed study, because their attitudes toward technical constraints, social values, and stereotypes exert a strong influence on the appearance of their final products. KEYWORDS: computer-mediated simulation; cyberspace; online game; simulated reality The use of computer networks and computer simulations to study social science issues has so far been very limited; thus, their potential as research tools in this area has remained largely unexplored. Simulation applications in the social sciences are cate- gorized as system modeling, computer-mediated simulation, and microsimulation. The first uses computer simulation tools and techniques to create models for the pur- pose of studying social system dynamics and processes. -

Cesar Chavez Film Debuts March 28 “History Is Made One Step at a Time”
F MARCH 2014 “A VISION FOR THE FUTURE ” Cesar Chavez Film Debuts March 28 “History Is Made One Step At A Time” The most anticipated film about the most important Latino leader in the United States is coming to theaters on March 28, 2014. Phoenix is one of the lucky states to have a premiere of the film on Thursday, March 13, 2014 at the Orpheum Theater. The upcoming film directed by Diego Luna, goes in depth about the struggles farm workers faced and how Cesar Chavez community organizing was effective in fighting for fair wages, good working conditions, dignity and respect for the men and women in the fields. The film highlights important events in the history of the farmworkers movement and the sacrifices Cesar Chavez and others made for the cause through non-violence acts. This is a first class film with Michael Peña as Cesar Chavez, America Ferrera as Helen Chavez, Rosario Dawson as Dolores Huerta who with Cesar is co-founder of the United Farm Workers Union (UFW) and John Malkovich co-stars as the owner of an industrial grape farm. The Si Se Puede attitude Cesar maintained during the hard times of the organizing efforts has transcended generations. I encourage you to watch this powerful film that will take you back to social history and where the fights against discrimination all began with Cesar Chavez. For more information about the film, please visit www.cesarechavezfoundation.org. “I am an organizer, not a union leader. A good organizer has to work hard and long. There are no shortcuts. -
