For 50 years, playwright Luis Valdez has been bringing the stories of immigrants and farmworkers to audiences across the golden state. He built the main stage for his theater company, Teatro Campesino, in an old fruit packing warehouse in San Juan Bautista. This week, President Obama awarded him the National Medal of Arts for bringing Chicano and Latino culture to American stage and screen.
