-If You Know Who This Man Is, I Like You Already. -If You Respect His Movement, I Respect You Back. - César Chavez was an American farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist, who, with Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association. -He became the best known Latino American civil rights activist, and was strongly promoted by the American labor movement, which was eager to enroll Hispanic members. His public-relations approach to unionism and aggressive but nonviolent tactics made the farm workers struggle a moral cause with nationwide support. By the late 1970s, his tactics had forced growers to recognize the UFW as the bargaining agent for 50,000 field workers in California and Florida. #CivilRightsActivist #Equality #EatYourProduceAndThinkAboutThis #TheMan #GoWatchHisMovie #HappyBirthdayCésarChavez #Raza
