About
Cesar Chavez was born in Yuma, Arizona. He was an American farmer, labor leader and civil rights activist, who, with Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association. He is also famous for popularizing the slogan "Sí, se puede", which was adopted as the 2008 campaign slogan of Barack Obama. His supporters say his work led to numerous improvements for union laborers. His birthday, March 31, has become Cesar Chavez Day, a state holiday in California, Colorado, and Texas. He worked in the fields until 1952, when he became an organizer for the Community Service Organization, a Latino civil rights group.
