Cesar Chavez, the American labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (later the United Farm Workers union, UFW), had eight children with his wife, Helen Fabela:
Fernando Chavez
Sylvia Chavez Delgado
Linda Chavez Rodriguez
Paul Chavez
Elizabeth Chavez Villarino
Anna Chavez Ybarra
Anthony Chavez
Librado Chavez
Cesar Chavez’s commitment to nonviolent tactics, including fasting and boycotts, made him a significant figure in the American civil rights movement. Some of his children, especially Paul Chavez, have continued his legacy by being involved in civil rights advocacy and in organizations that support farm workers’ rights.
