The long pilgrimage of LeRoy Chatfield weaves its way through multiple
collective projects designed to better the condition of the marginalized
and forgotten. From the cloisters of the Christian Brothers and the
halls of secondary education to the fields of Central California and the
streets of Sacramento, Chatfield's story reveals a fierce commitment to
those who were denied the promises of the American dream. In this
collection of what the author calls Easy Essays, Chatfield recounts his
childhood, explains the social issues that have played a significant
role in his life and work, and uncovers the lack of justice he saw all
too frequently. His journey, alongside Cesar and Helen Chavez, Marshall
Ganz, Bonnie Chatfield, Philip Vera Cruz, and countless others, displays
an unwavering focus on organizing communities and expanding their
agency. Follow and explore a life dedicated to equality of opportunity
for all. May it inspire and guide you in your own quest for a fairer and
more just society.
