"There are vivid memories from my childhood - what we had to go through because of low wages and the conditions, basically because there was no union. I suppose, if I wanted to be fair, I could say that I'm trying to settle a personal score. I could dramatize it by saying that I want to bring social justice to farm workers."
Cesar Chavez was an American labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, later the United Farm Workers. He led nonviolent campaigns to improve wages and working conditions for farm laborers. Chavez became a central figure in the U.S. labor and Chicano movements.
