Summary This is a story about Cesar Chavez whom after working in the poor farming conditions himself worked to change the conditions of many migrant farm workers by forming unions. Personal reflection I enjoyed this book a lot, I have never heard of this man upon reading this book. This book had good information about the struggles of farm workers in America and one of the people that made it his mission to help. Extensions 1. Take a field trip and visit a farm comparable to the ones talked about in the story. 2. Have the children give their views and concerns about people who farm and the their rights. 3. Have the children write about how they would help migrant farm workers. no reviews | add a review

Both books talked about how he formed the National Farm Workers Association, but Harvesting Hope talks about having a flag for their cause. Both books also talked about how he used nonviolence to fight the injustice of the landowners. Both books talked about the strike against Delano and the walk protesters took from Delano to Sacramento in protest. ( )
