Today. we recollect that Cesar Chavez brought to national attention the plight of farmworkers. and then we boycotted grapes and we helped to bring justice to the exploited farm workers. We tend to forget how throughout his life. Cesar Chavez efforts on behalf of migrant workers were vigorously and even violently opposed by the growers and by more than a few public officials. As we celebrate Cesar Chavez great contributions. we must remind ourselves that much remains to be done and we must now carry on in his footsteps. Just as we cannot afford to forget the challenge that Cesar Chavez life has left to us. we cannot afford to underestimate the many valuable accomplishments of his life.
