In 1944 Cesar Chavez joined the navy. In the navy as well we encountered racism. In his words he remembers being treated different because of his background. After serving his country Chavez married Helena Fabela in 1948. Throughout their marriage they had 15 kids together. As well as being a fighter he was the man! Chavez was a man witched listened to hid head and heart. He was very interested in reading St. Francis and Gandhi's work. He studied their actions toward some of the obstacles they encountered. All of Cesar's life he was the next-door neighbor to discrimination. He wasn't the only one. During that time in the great United States there was racism not just toward Mexican Americans but as well as African Americans. It wasn't just those two nationalities but anyone that was different. I mean why were people like that and still are. Really does a 7 yr old non-white child has the blame for being Mexican. That's what worries me to live in such a beautiful country like the U.S., it is beautiful and all but sometimes it isn't the best place to live because of conflicting nationalities. Cesar Chavez Had no choice to be a farm worker that was the only position open to a Mexican like him, he had a family to support so he didn't have the choice. As a farm worker he knew how hard it was to be a farm worker and how hard it was not to speak the home language Of the land, and how only farming and cropping was the option. For more than a century farm workers have been given the slap on face plus the door shut on them. Later in the years another obstacle occurred. In 1962 a law was passed against workers from Mexico. The new law stated that no worker imported from Mexico couldn't replace a domestic worker; this new obstacle was called the Bracero program. After many hurdles and hoops many farm workers had to jump a program was created, the UFW. The United Farm Workers (UFW) was lead by Ernesto Galanza.
