Cesar Chavez
b. 3-31-1927; near Yuma, AZ
d. 4-23-1993; San Luis, AZ

Farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez was a cofounder, with Dolores Huerta, of the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers.

In the mid 1960s the NFWA organized the historic farm workers march from Delano, California state capitol in Sacramento for seeking higher wages and better working conditions. The UFW encouraged all Americans to support the strike by boycotting table grapes.

In the 1970s strikes and boycotts, like the Salad Bowl Strike, protested the use of toxic pesticides on crops and helped farm workers win collective bargaining rights.

As a child Chavez quit school at the end of the eighth grade to work in the fields so his mother wouldn't have to work. Chavez's fasts, the willing abstinence from all food, was influenced by his Catholic tradition of doing penance and by Gandhi's fasts and emphasis of nonviolence.

• “Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. And you cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.”
• “Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak... Non-violence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win.”
• “History will judge societies and governments — and their institutions — not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich and the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor and the helpless.”
• “When we refer to the Church we should define the word a little. We mean the whole Church, the Church as an ecumenical body spread around the world, and not just its particular form in a parish in a local community.”

TIME - The Grapes Wrath, 1969, Mexican-Americans on the March. - “The Little Strike that Grew to La Causa ... the table grape, Vitis vinifera, has become the symbol of the four-year-old strike of California's predominantly Mexican-American farm workers. For more than a year now, table grapes have been the object of a national boycott that has won the sympathy and support of many Americans — and the ire of many others.
