Cesar Chavez Speech
By Sam
Hello! My name is Cesar Chavez. I was born in Yuma, Arizona on March 31,
1927.I moved to California. I have no
brothers or sisters. I ended school in 8th grade to help my family
get more money.
Farmers were
paying very little money to their workers. I wanted farmers to pay more money
to their workers. I showed pictures of family’s getting hurt. I led a grape strike. Then the farmers paid
more money.
I met Helen
Fabela. I started dating her at the age of 15.I married her in 1948.The next year,
she gave birth to 1 baby. We named her Fernando Chavez. Soon, we had 7 more
children.
I soon led a union. I also led a march called
the Sacramento March. The march was in California. I led more marches and
boycotts.
I died in
April 22, 1993 in Arizona. In 1994, I was awarded the Presidential Medal of
Freedom.
