Cesar Chavez: Crusader for Social Change

This biography follows the life of Cesar Chavez from his childhood in Arizona, through his family's loss of their farm during the Great Depression, to his time as a migrant farmworker in California. The book details the harsh working conditions, low pay, and discrimination faced by farmworkers. The core of the narrative focuses on his work as a community organizer and his co-founding of the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA). It highlights his key nonviolent strategies, including the Delano grape strike and boycott, his 340-mile march to Sacramento, and his use of personal fasts to draw attention to the cause of social justice for farmworkers.
