Audio Description

To foster a sense of community, Cesar brought people together to break bread as often as possible. Here, people living on the property regularly came together to share meals and socialize. It was also often a setting for special events, gatherings and holidays.

The single-story building was originally constructed in 1954. In the early 1970s, the interior of the building was remodeled by the farmworker movement in order to continue its use as a kitchen and dining facility that was named "Pan y Vino." It is still in use today.
