Within the Main Street pedestrian mall in downtown Riverside (3746 University Ave.) is a bronze statue and memorial showing Cesar Chavez leading a group of farmworkers. On the small plaza are plaques describing Chavez' life, his activities in community organization, and his work to improve the lives of farm workers. The statue was made by Ignacio Gomez (@ignaciogomezart) and was completed in 2015. The statue and adjacent small plaza (designed by Ian Davidson Landscape Architecture) are also part of the peace or civil rights walk within the mall. It is one of the memorials featured in a recent video by the City of Riverside.
