Today I don't have school because it is César Chávez's birthday. He fought for civil rights for migrant workers. He co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in the early 1960s. He help migrant farm workers to become un-invisable and got help to have his organization be the first successful farm workers’ union in the United States. He used principles of non-violence, with strikes and boycotts. He was president of United Farm Workers of America (AFL-CIO) until he died. His role models were Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Nehru, Zapata, Emiliano (all civil right fighters). Califorina, Texas and Colorado are the only states where the schools are closed.
