César Chávez |

| In 1962 César Chávez helped form the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers of America. Chávez organized the formerly powerless migrant farmworkers of California and forced growers to pay better wages and provide better working conditions for workers. In 1968 he led a nationwide boycott of grapes, which helped change the bargaining position of the California farmworkers. | ||||||
