At first, Cesar Chavez lived a happy life in Arizona. But things took a wild turn when he was 10.
Hi! i am Cesar Chavez!
Then, the unthinkable happened. The trees around the ranch began to wilt. The sun baked the farm soil rock hard. Without water for the crops, the Chavez family couldn't pay the bills. Cesar's old life had vanished.
Its so hard to see my mom crying and my dad strapping our possessions.
Soon after, they found a job in California. The family earned thirty cents a day. Cesar thinks that they treat the farmers unfair.
I think there might be hope! I will crisscross California to tell people to join my fight. about farmworkers association.
Next, Cesar Chavez made his first meeting. he sat in a corner quietly. Then 20 minutes later everybody was wondering where the organizer was. Cesar Chavez was so embarrassed. But the people trusted him. He was still learning how to be a fighter. So the meeting began.
Later on, Cesar Chavez organized a march of more than three hundred miles. The company fought with everything from punchers to bullets. But Cesar Chavez refused to fight with violence.
Finally, Cezar Chavez signed the first contract for the National farmworkers Association, promising a contract with a pay raise and better conditions. It was a huge party. Cesar Chavez won fight without violence and he would never be powerless again.
