César ChávezLa lucha por lo justoSeries: Latinos famososBy Lila Guzmán and Rick Guzmán DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews Now in Spanish, read about César Chávez and his experiences as a migrant farmworker. He knew about poverty and pain, discrimination and despair. He grew up with one goal: to make a difference. Chávez organized a labor union—which became the United Farm Workers Union—to demand higher wages and better working and living conditions. A staunch believer in nonviolence, his strategies included strikes, boycotts, marches, and personal hunger strikes. By bringing national attention to the workers’ desperate plight, Chávez forced growers to improve their laborers’ lives.Publication Date: 07/01/2007Copyright: 2008Pages: 32Trim Size: 7 1/2 x 9Illustrations: Illus. with color photographs and illustrationsGrade Level: 3–4Age Level: 8–9LC Number: 2006030188Lexile: 700ATOS Reading Level: 4.4ATOS Points: 0.5Quiz #: 109882Dewey: 331.88FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book978-0-7660-2679-7$23.60$17.70 "These captivating biographies give young readers a glimpse into the life of famous personalities . . . the carefully edited texts give enough details to capture the young readers' imagination . . .
