Indeed, while he was alive, Cesar refused to sign away the movie rights to his life, though offered millions. He also refused offers to publish an autobiography or an “authorized” biography. He refused because he never sought personal recognition. It was not about him, he insisted. It was about La Causa, the cause of justice. March 31 would have been the 87th birthday of an American warrior, the founder of the United Farm Workers of America (UFW). A third-generation native American of Mexicano decent who became a migrant farm worker, a veteran who joined the U.S. Navy to defend his country, the United States, in World War II, Cesar Chavez became the first American trade union leader to create a viable union for farm workers and an American civil rights leader who served the cause of justice for Americans of all races, creeds and colors, and thereby enriched America.
