This source was very interesting to me because, Cesar Chavez is shown smiling in front of two pictures of Genghis Khan and John F. Kennedy. It tells me that Cesar Chavez views himself as honorable as them, which he should. It also gives me the idea that he respects these men and thinks they made a wonderful impact on the world today and he would like to do the same.

This image helped me understand what farm workers were going through. The farm workers would stand outside small shacks holding signs demanding the right to vote. Voter discrimination and unjust ways were highlighted in this photo and the poor conditions they worked in and lived in just proved it more.

This photo shows me that the farm workers were so determined to gain their rights, they would do anything. Cesar Chavez was equally or more determined because he would stand on the stage for hours talking about how unjust this treatment was. This is a significant source because the photo was taken in 1979 when Cesar Chavez rallied the farm workers when they needed it and no one else helped them. Speech being given by Cesar Chavez.

Workers in Fields. Digital image. Category Archievs: Cesar Chavez. N.p., n.d. Web. 8 Dec. 2013. <http://leftwingnutjob.wordpress.com/category/cesar-chavez/>. This was an interesting photograph because it portrayed the harsh working conditions that farm workers had to go through. It also made me wonder where the photo was taken because it appeared to be taken in a cold climate with ice capped mountains in the background. To summarize, this source helped me understand my project more by showing me the overwhelming size of the farms and the amount of backbreaking work the farm workers were supposed to complete.

Chavez, Cesar. 1984 Cesar Chavez Address to the Commonwealth Club of California." Speech. Commonwealth Club, San Francisco. 1 Dec. 2013. Cesar Chavez Foundation. 2012. Web. 1 Dec. 2013. <http://www.chavezfoundation.org/ _cms.php This source relates to the theme, rights and responsibilities, because Cesar Chavez discusses the right people should have to believe in themselves and do what they

think is right. The source also discusses the harsh reality of the farm working conditions. Farm workers often slept in the fields and were subjected to vicious rats gnawing on them and catching diseases. This treatment must have given many farm workers the responsibility to create a more safe environment but feared the idea of being rejected. This fear, is the fear that determined Cesar Chavez to go up against the law.

! ! Interviews: ! ! Leonzo, Tanya. Telephone interview. 10 Feb. 2014. !

This source helped me understand the current stage of the United Farm Workers and their goals. Tanya Leonzo is a benefits coordinator for the UFW and has been working there for two years. From talking to her, I learned that the UFW was the smallest organization in the nation to help farm workers, although, they are trying to go not only nationwide but worldwide. They sent their president, Arturo Rodriguez to Mexico where they are trying to help farm workers there too. The UFW has a lot of big goals for the next few years, but they plan on making their union bigger and stronger every step of the way.

"UFW: The Official Web Page of the United Farm Workers of America." UFW: The Official Web Page of the United Farm Workers of America. United Farm Workers, 2006. Web. 14 Oct. 2013. <http://www.ufw.org/_page.php?inc=history/07.html>. In this source, I learned about Cesar Chavezs life and how he became inspired to boycott the unfairly paid migrant farm workers. One of the most important pieces of information I read was that at a young age, both his parents deserted him, so he made money by becoming a farm worker. It helped me with my research because I became informed about Cesar Chavezs story and how he changed history. The most provoking thing the author mentioned was that Chavez often fasted (not eating or drinking for a cause) on only water for 25 days because he wanted to protest pesticide poisoning of grape workers and their children. In conclusion, this was a helpful source for me to get to know my topic.
