Presents the life story of the Mexican American labor leader who achieved justice for migrant farm workers by creating a union to protect their rights.

This is an introduction to the life of Cesar Chavez, whose union for migrant workers got California to pass a new work law giving migrant farm workers the same rights as other workers.

"Cesar Chavez dedicated his life to helping American farmworkers. As a child growing up in California during the Great Depression, he picked produce with his family. Cesar saw firsthand how unfairly workers were treated. As an adult, he organized farmworkers into unions and argued for better pay and fair working conditions. He was jailed for his efforts, but he never stopped urging people to stand up for their rights"--Amazon.com.
