Best Answer

Cesar Chavez (March 31, 1927 - April 23, 1993 ) was the founder (leader) of the mostly Hispanic Farm Workers Union of America. The purpose of the Union was to try and get basic safety standards and wages for the migrant farm workers of the California and western areas of the US. Chavez was noted for many techniques to gain recognition for the Union. He went on hunger strikes, and he lead various boycotts, like the lettuce boycott and the grape boycott, in which the people would not buy those products until the farm owners recognized the Union and/or provided benefits for the farm workers. He was born in Yuma, AZ.
