Who is Cesar Chavez? Do you have the slightest idea as to who he is, where he came from, or what he did? According to source AA, Cesar Chavez was a man, who was born on March 31, 1927 in Yuma, Arizona in the United States of America. When he grew up he decided to invest his time to help others. He helped the farm workers receive better working conditions, and better wages. He started in Delano California in the year 1962 by founding the United Farm Workers Association.

According to Source B, which is another picture taken by historian, Jeffrey Saari, there is Cesar Chavez’ home in Cesar Chavez street.
