Cesar Chavez was a civil rights activist, labor organizer and leader who founded the United Farm Workers Union in 1962. Through his tireless commitment to the cause, the UFW became the first successful farm workers union in the United States, establishing unprecedented rights for farm workers and restoring dignity for the people who fed America. Embracing the position of non-violent political protest, Cesar motivated thousands of people worldwide with his humanity and advocacy for the voiceless, inspiring countless generations with his legacy.
