Cesar, like Martin, believed that change through peace is more effective than change through force and violence. This book will help them gain a deeper understanding of his influence on civil rights. ![]() Unfortunately, many students east of California do not know about him. As our Latino population in the schools has grown, I find this book even more important.Ĭesar Chavez is a great American hero much as Martin Luther King Jr. Our classrooms need to acknowledge and celebrate our diverse American heroes.
