Presentation transcript:

Cesar Chavez Thousands of people moved West during the Great Depression to find jobs to support their families. At the same time, many people immigrated from South America and Mexico and everyone began competing for the same jobs. Cesar Chavez, a civil rights activist, fought to make equal pay for the immigrants. How did he influence America?

Cesar Chavez was an important civil rights activist in the 20th century. His work focused on protecting the rights of Latino-American farm workers in the agricultural areas of the Southwest United States. Unknown. (1966). [Cesar Chavez, half-length portrait, facing left]. Library of Congress: America's Library, Meet Amazing Americans.[Cesar Chavez, half-length portrait, facing left].

During the Great Depression, many people moved westward to find work in agricultural jobs. At the same time, many people immigrated from Central and South America. As more and more people moved into the region, jobs became more difficult to find. Latino workers often found themselves earning lower wages, sleeping in horrible conditions, and living without political and legal protection under the law. Hemming, R. (1941). During the 1940s, many migrant farm worker families lived in government- sponsored camps as they moved from place to place ("Group of Children Posing Under Sign That Reads "U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Security Administration Farm Workers Community." ).

Chavez organized the National Farm Workers Association, later called the United Farm Workers, to fight for workers’ rights to fair pay and decent working and living conditions. Boycotts and strikes were common techniques used by Chavez’ organization. This poster from 1968 declares “Long live Chavez, long live the cause, long live the strike!” House, D. (1968). Viva Chavez, viva la causa, viva la huelga. [Long Live (Cesar) Chavez, Long Live Our Cause, Long Live Our Strike].

Chavez was successful in his fight to protect the rights of farm workers. This poster represents his legacy of peaceful protest and labor organization that influenced other movements. Unknown.
