((apex)) Cesar Chavez kelsmo m.k. :) <3
Cesar Chavez led the United Farm Workers in a strike, boycott, and secondary boycott against grape growers. This was known as the Delano Grape Strike.
When farm workers initiated the Delano grape strike in 1965, to protest for higher wages, Chavez supported them. Six months later Chavez led a strike of California grape pickers. The United Farm Workers encouraged all Americans to boycott table grapes as a show of support. The strike lasted five years.
His boycott
because he wanted to show how he would boycott on grapes or to walk long miles.
It originated in a town called Delano in California and was spear-headed by the Farm Worker's Union, led by Cesar Chavez.
His boycott
He organized a national boycott of grapes to force the employers to meet the workers' demands.
