Happy 84th César Chávez
Today I don't have school because it is César Chávez's birthday. He fought for civil rights for migrant workers. He co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in the early 1960s. He help migrant farm workers to become un-invisable and got help to have his organization be the first successful farm workers’ union in the United States. He used principles of non-violence, with strikes and boycotts. He was president of United Farm Workers of America (AFL-CIO) until he died. His role models were Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Nehru, Zapata, Emiliano (all civil right fighters). Califorina, Texas and Colorado are the only states where the schools are closed.
Happy 200th
Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen (31 March 1811 – 16 August 1899) was a German chemist. He discovered caesium (in 1860) and rubidium (in 1861) with Gustav Kirchhoff. With his laboratory assistant, Peter Desaga, he developed the Bunsen burner, an improvement on the laboratory burners then in use. The Bunsen–Kirchhoff Award for spectroscopy is named after Bunsen and Kirchhoff.

Take Talli Viral
A few days ago I saw a video of my friend's little brother, Talli dancing. It is a JLo song, it only has 80 hits but I'm trying to help it go viral.
