Making A Difference

Cesar Chavez worked hard to make the lives of the migrant farm workers a lot easier. He wanted them to have the rights they deserved. They deserved the right to health care, sanitary living conditions and increased wages. The migrant workers faced many challenges along with racism and discrimination. Against all odds Cesar never gave up, he believed in their cause, they could make a difference. Cesar was a strong believer of non violence. Many of his followers agreed in his peaceful manner. He changed laws, and fought for their rights by organizing boycotts, strikes and pickets.
My parents as well as many of these migrant workers have faced many challenges in the United States. I was not aware of all the great things that Cesar had done to fight for the rights of so many people. After doing this project I am prouder to say that I am Mexican American, and proud of my parents for all their hard work. “Si Se Puede” it means “Yes We Can.” Cesar Chavez continued his devotion to gain rights for all the farm workers till the day of his death. He will always be remembered as a Hero.
