Cesar was a great fighter and he was also a great leader. He fought for his people's rights as migrant farm workers. Cesar fought in a non-violent boycott. He fought in this boycott for 5 years. The boycott was to improve conditions and pay for grape pickers. The boycott was successful and the grape pickers got their new rights.

Cesar was a great activist in this country for many people. Cesar organized and socialized in the 1960's. He found the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA). He later found United Farm Workers (UFW). These are two of the group that Chavez was a leader in. Chavez was the leader of the Mexican-American farm workers. He was protesting the poor working conditions of the migrant farm workers.

Chavez was a very responsible person. Although his family lost everything during the Great Depression, he still made something out of his life. Many people in this country and in his own country honored him. In 1994 he was awarded highest civilian. He had got the presidential Medal of Freedom. He was a great leader and very responsible of his actions. He really did make a difference in peoples lives.
