Cesar Chavez compelled admiration from supporters and opponents alike. His energy was unremitting. His efforts ended only with his physical death. But the spirit he brought to the farmworkers of the country did not die with his body. It is a legacy that will survive to better their condition and to enrich the long American tradition of working for fairness and equity for all the people who live in our Nation. Cesar Chavez was a man of principle. He was a man of commitment. From his own childhood he observed the consequences of migrant farm life. His family moved often and owned little. He had little formal education.
