Best Answer

Richard Chavez was the brother of Cesar Chavez, the hero of the farm workers movement of the 1960's. Together, the two brothers organized and united migrant workers of California for better wages and working conditions. They founded the United Farm Workers.

A carpenter, Richard spearheaded the construction of the future Union Hall for the fledgling movement. He designed the now famous logo while his brother chose the colors. Cesar might have been the "front man" for the organization, but Richard was the organizational force behind the movement. He was the one who drove the Delano grape boycott which lasted five years.

It was Richard who shaped the marches and boycotts into a working union. His driving force was the impetus for the union to become an economic and political force in the labor market today.
