Interpreting the Legacy of Cesar Chavez

About This Lesson

In this lesson, students will understand how Cesar Chavez's adolescence as a migrant farm worker influenced his later achievements. Students will read excerpts from Chavez’s autobiography and draw connections around organized labor, social justice, and humane treatment of individuals. Once students have critically thought about these connections, they will write a response supported with evidence to answer the investigative question on the impact of Chavez’s early years. Extensions on present migrant farming practices and adaptations are available for ELLs and readers at multiple levels.

This may be the most ironic comment I've ever read! Not educational? How is it possible to confuse United Farm Worker Cesar Chavez with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela? Do all Chavezes seem the same to you? Now, please tell us more about what is educational, and what isn't. Seriously, please do it.

I'm not sure which is worse. Not knowing what you're talking about (even after watching the video?!) or agreeing with someone as clueless as yourself. You decide!

I believe you have gotten Chavez's mixed up . Cesar Chavez was in California, USA. The Chavez, you are referring to was Hugo. Hugo Chavez was the dictator of Venezuela. Cesar Chavez was a positive force for migrant workers in California. He was a civil rights hero in the USA. His work paralleled Dr. Martin Luther King's Civil Rights movement in the US South, both in time and focus. It is important for our Latinx youth to know their part in the history of our USA.
