Cesar Chavez

Cesar Chavez was a man who led a historic movement for civil rights, labor rights and human rights. Chávez worked hard to get a square deal for farm workers, migrant workers and people without a political voice.

My reason to celebrate César Chávez here is his passion for education. At the height of his work with the labor movement, Chávez connected the fight for wages with a struggle for self-respect.
