I fully support Representative BACAs legislation to encourage the establishment of a national holiday in honor of Cesar Chavez and wish to thank him for introducing this important bill. During the Great Depression. C6sars family lost their own farm. As such. Cesar and his family joined the migrant farming community. Cesar was only 10 years old when he began to work in the fields and vineyards of the southwest. He learned first hand about the injustices and indignities experienced by migrant farm workers. Founder of the National Farm Workers Association and its successor the United Farm Workers of America. C6sar led the Nations first triumphant farm workers union.
