Gino Strada And Cesar Chavez And Human Rights

During his lifetime, Cesar Chavez and his followers made many changes and contributions to society. While he was alive, he had the privilege to see what his non-violence actions produced; what they transpired. It is recorded that Chavez began actively organizing workers in the fields in 1952. The California-based Community Service Organization (CSO) recruited and trained for his work. Chavez built new chapters of CSO, led voter registration drives, and helped Mexican-Americans confront issues of police and immigration abuse during the next ten years. In 1958 he became general director of CSO. With $1,200 of his own savings, Chavez resigned four years later, to found the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) in 1962. (Gale Encyclopedia) He was a very determined man; strived in everything he put his mind to. Russell declares that by

Cesar Chavez fought for other migrant farmers because he had experienced what they were experiencing, and thought he should make a difference when Chavez started leading the UFW, United Farm Workers, is when his movement really started. Lots of things happened during Chavez’s childhood “At age 11, his family lost their farm during the Great Depression and became migrant farm workers”(Cesar Chavez Foundation). That is the main reason for why Chavez noticed the issues that were surfacing with workers, this is what got him into the farms. Cesar taught many unforgettable lessons “Cesar learned and taught others how commitment and sacrifice can set you free from the constraints imposed by depending entirely on money and material things”(Cesar Chavez Foundation). The citation shows how Cesar made a big impact on others even if only teaching them. Cesar did many

Cesar Chavez was an American labor leader and leader of the civil rights movements. Chavez was in search of justice for his people, especially Mexicans and Latinos. He stands up for these people because he saw how their bosses were with those people. Their bosses were treating them like slaves and not paying them the amount of money they should be getting. Chavez was a victim of that and he saw that no one was making any changes and he took the chance and do justice.

Cesar Chavez’s biography shows a lot about the way he was raised and how that taught him his ways and shaped his personality. Cesar was born on March 31, 1927 (Gonzales 22) and was subjected early to intense destitution because his family was one of many migrant, Mexican-American, families (Pao) that rely on the money even if the conditions were terrible for any human. His experience of the farm worker’s life was what drove him to help other workers. “Cesar and his father trudged twelve miles to Yuma looking for a bank loan. They came back covered with dust and empty-handed.”(Terzian 7) He had early experiences with upwards battles and it taught him how to manage them. Another time was captured by James Terzian when he wrote about Chavez’s dad taking care of his fellow workers. “These people are poor, ignorant peasants - campesinos! They’ll sleep anywhere, eat anything take any wage you pay. Why waste your time and money on them, eh?” said the neighbor. Cesar’s dad responds, “They are children of God. They will get shelter and soap for as long as they work on my farm.” (5). He was raised to respect workers and understand that they are people too.

Despite the obstacles and the hardship of his work he never gave up. “Tunnelers find it easier to stay the course because they gravitate toward meaning; they’re more likely to perceive a potential obstacles as a challenge than as a setback; and their psychological and physiological reactions are more robust” Brafman 95). Cesar Chavez was a leader to many farmers and immigrants. He showed and explained to farmers that they deserved more. He organized and led strikes and boycotts. Cesar Chavez committed his whole life on reaching the rights of farmers. His unwavering commitment goes beyond measures. He had a very difficult life that had many obstacles. During his strikes and boycotts Cesar Chavez would get arrested and put down by many people, but that did not stop him for what he believed.

The article “Cesar Chavez Saved My Life,” written by Daniel “Nane” Alejandrez reflects on Mr. Alejandraz’s past, covering some very unfortunate events, but with a purpose of pulling emotion from the reader. While reading some parts of the article, I had to reread it over a few times to comprehend the point that the author was trying to make. The most important thing about knowing his past is that it is significantly different, and much more positive in the future because of one person, Cesar Chavez.

Although Cesar’s family owned a small farm and store, they unfortunately lost their home and as a cause had to move from Arizona to California. In California, they settled in the Kern county city Delano. Once in California, Chavez struggled in his education, attending 38 different schools before dropping out in the eighth grade to work with his family full time in the fields. Cesars’ family experienced difficulties in their Delano since they did not have a stable home or a steady income.

During his time at the CSO, he had met Dolores Huerta, a woman who shared his passion for obtaining farm worker’s civil rights. His plan was to fight for the rights of the migrant and resident farm workers in California. To achieve this goal, Chavez set out to form a “viable union” among the thousands of disenfranchised farm workers.

Cesar Chavez was an American civil rights activists. He was born on March 31, 1927, in Yuma, Arizona. Cesar Chavez was the son of Juana Estrada and Librado Chavez. He was named after his grandfather.He lived in a Mexican-American family which had six children. Cesar Chavez lived in the same small house that he was born in. Chavez lost his land during the Great Depression. It was taken away because Chavez’s father made an agreement that was soon broken. His father tried to buy the house but he couldn’t because he wasn’t able to pay the loan. Their house was soon sold to the original owner. Cesar Chavez and his family then had to move to California to become migrant farm workers. The Chavez family had to work really hard. They did not live in the same place for so long. They would pick peas and lettuce in the winter. In the spring, they had to picks cherries and beans. For Summer, they picked corn and grapes. Lastly, for Fall, they would pick cotton. Chavez went to 30 different schools in California because his family kept moving from place to place to find work. In 1942, Chavez dropped out of seventh grade. It would have been his last year but he didn’t want his mother to work in the fields. Chavez soon became full-time migrant farm worker. At the time, farm workers weren’t paid enough and lived horrible conditions. Chavez and his older sister Rita helped farm workers and neighbors when they were sick. They would drive those who couldn’t drive to the hospital to see a

On March 2nd, 1930, Gandhi sent a letter to the Viceroy, Lord Irwin, forcefully saying that if Indian demands were not met, he would be forced to violate the ‘salt laws.’ The Lord ignored his letter. Gandhi began a 240 mile trek to the sea with 78 of his followers. As the trek continued, more and more people joined Mohandas Gandhi, and by the time Gandhi arrived at the sea thousands of people stood behind him. Gandhi picked up a clump of sea salt along with thousands of others. Gandhi was soon arrested for his actions along with tens of thousands of others. Gandhi was pardoned to travel to England for negotiations which accomplished nothing, and was arrested upon his return to India.

Why did Gandhi stand up to the British for India? Gandhi stood up for his country because the British had a salt tax preventing the people of India from collecting or selling salt. Gandhi and 78 followers set out on March 12, 1930 on a 200 mile march across India protesting the restrictions placed on salt. During this march, Gandhi defied many laws and led many people, resulting in the arrest of 100,000 people.(How did gandhi).
