Cesar Chavez

 He was an American farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist, who, with Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National FarmWorkers Association (later the United Farm Workers union, UFW).[1] A Mexican American, Chavez 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.
