    San Luis, Arizona.

    He studied Mathematics at the Universidad Nacional Autnoma de


    Mxico. In addition he studied the Masters degree in Economics at El
    Colegio de Mxico.

    Csars parents thought school was important. School was hard for
    Csar because the teachers only spoke English and Csar did not
    understand English.

    Csar learned to read English in school and he learned to read Spanish


    from his uncles.

    Csar thought some teachers were mean because they would punish
    him when he spoke Spanish.

    Cesar Chavez was an American


    farm worker,labor
    leaderandcivil rightsactivist,
    who, withDolores Huerta, cofounded theNational Farm
    Workers Association

    He is one of the most inspiring


    heroes in American history

    Chvezs family lost its land in the


    Great Depression and headed to
    work in the fields of Californias
    central valley, where he would spend
    the rest of his life fighting for the
    rights of migrant farmworkers.

    He led the creation


    of the organization that would
    become the United Farm
    Workers in 1962.

    Chvez inspired Latino


    workers in the grape industry
    to stand in solidarity with the
    strike, which spread rapidly
    through the California fields.

    Chvez pioneered
    unprecedented strategies that
    have become invaluable to all
    of us in the labor movement.

    He led workers in long


    marches that crossed the
    state of California to raise
    awareness of the strike,

    He put his body on the line in a


    series of hunger strikes.

    After the triumph in the grape


    fields, the UFW grew dramatically
    until it represented more than
    50,000 farmworkers,

    UFW and fight for the rights of
    workers, immigrants, and Latinos
    until his untimely death in 1993.

    one can)
