Speaker. last week one of the first Hispanic Americans to become permanently etched into our Nations consciousness diedCesar Chavez. During his time here on Earth and in his own uncompromising way. Cesar Chavez came to symbolize and personify the struggle of migrant farm workers for basic rights and dignity. Through his leadership of the National Farm Workers Association and its successor. the United Farm Workers. Cesar Chavez organized farm workers and fought for improved working conditions. The boycotts and strikes he organized and the fasts he himself undertook focused our Nations attention on the plight of the migrant farm worker and helped bring about much needed changes. The legacy Cesar Chavez leaves is that of a caring. selfless advocate for our Nations farm workers. For that he will always be remembered.
