Cesar Chavez decided that a system that did not respect human rights. a system that treated people as expendable. a system that promoted Third World living standards in the United States. was wrong. He committed his life to changing that system. He gave a voice to the voiceless. he gave the promise of bargaining strength to the powerless. He gave hope. for the first time. to people who felt they were marginal. While much remains to be done in improving conditions for migrant farmworkers. Chavez accomplishments can never be undone. Cesar Chavez made farmworkers a visible and vocal part of American life.
