Celebrating National Latino Heritage Month: Cesar Chavez

Cesar Chavez

Cesar Chavez was born on March 31, 1927 close to his family’s small homestead outside Yuma, Arizona. Chavez was a civil rights, Latino and farm labor leader, a genuinely religious and spiritual figure, a community organizer and social entrepreneur. At age 11, Chavez's family lost their farm during the Great Depression and they became migrant farm workers. Cesar finished his formal education after the eighth grade and worked the fields full-time to help support his family. Cesar Chavez joined the U.S. Navy in 1946 in the aftermath of World War II and served in the Western Pacific. He returned from the service in 1948 to marry Helen Fabela, whom he met while working in fields. Throughout his youth and into adulthood, Chavez traveled the migrant streams throughout California laboring in the fields, orchards and vineyards where he was exposed to the hardships and injustices of farm worker life.
