Cesar Chavez: Embrace the Legacy (5 min. UFW video)

[killerkissbaby]

Great man for social justice.

[NME712]

cesar chavez called imigration on his people for not protesting with him

[3og7izzy]

viva la raza not 4 your race 4 who u are god bless u all ty

[rbgirevik]

that parade looks like the parking lot of a Home Depot

[uncleruckus714]

In this day of era of 2011 we still need Caesar Chavez, Martin Luther King and Gandhi because I don't think we are out of the woods yet and this country is still drowning in hatred and ignorance and i'm tired of it

[mexxxicanlovemachine]

cesar chavez is shit, he never did anything for me that nigger. i am mexican immigrant and despise this cesar chavez character, he is no good

[pvaquera]

@mexxxicanlovemachine I am just curious as to why you dispise him? He fought for dignity and the rights for others. HIs leadership was inspired by our Dios and the injustice committed to all campesinos; he made people believe in the impossible and challenged all of us to serve others. What have you done for your Raza? More so what have you done for the youth around you to aspire for more. Stop criticizing and do something! ¡Viva Cesar Chavez!

[Irishcookies2009]

Cesar chavez . Who gives a shit

[angelkat916]

@Irishcookies2009 More people than anyone who gives a damn about you.

[Scroopulous]

[elmajico361]

@BROCKLANDERS93 jajajajajajajj!!!!!

[FIRMESTREETWEAR]

WHERE CAN I BUY ALL HIS SPEECHES?

[kerrigankohls]

I fully suport the UFW, and the hardworking MEN and WOMEN who help put food on the tables however I fail to follow the locic in which keeping the borders open helps these workers? Wouldn't limiting laborers drive up the pay for these hard working MEN and WOMEN? Keeping the borders open hurts these workers. I would pay more for produce IF it went to them, It's simple supply and demand. Limit the supply of workers and PAY them! am I missing something? Take our jobs is a bad idea. respectfully

[tekloid]

Cesar Chavez hated illegal immigrants. FACT.

[ChicoBallers]

@tekloid The only reason he hated immigrants because the workers were willing to work for less money which would not help the strike for mexican american workers. If the field workers boycotted and new immigrants were brought in every day it defeated the strike. Chavez did not hate immigrants just the fact that them coming only hurt the strike and his stragety to gain leverage from the plantation owners. Im from Salinas and Watsonville two major UFW farm towns so I know what the FUCK im typing.

[adrianregules]

me da tristesa de escuchar que hay gangas en california que usan un symbolo tan puro para promover su estupides. "viva la causa". and if you dont know who is CESAR ESTRADA CHAVEZ then dont write shiiit. no lo confundan con el payaso de venezuela..

[JayJay28888]

@adrianregules What's sad is that you can't even cry about people bashing your icon in english. The only problem I have with Chavez, is that he was recrutied by Saul Alinsky. If you don't know anything about Alinsky, then you should read up on him and find out why being associated with him is a bad thing. And yes Cesar Chavez is far better than the idiot in Venezuela.

[adrianregules]

Cesar E. Chavez no es un communita. el como otros personages de la historia lucharon para que el pueblo de su nacion floresca, recuerden que eran solamente mexicanos y mexicanos americanos que trabajaban en los campos tambien habia guerros q por la depresion estubieron por debajo de la line de pobresa, phillipinos, african american. not only hispanic. adrian r regules.

[LBAntonio69er]

the video is an exiilant understanding for what Chaves did for his people

[superdavid002]

I mention Cesar Chavez in The History Song.

[YolandaG43]

For those unaware of this, it is the voice of Robert F. Kennedy dedicating his words to Cesar Chavez. The Kennedys then and now understood the need for social justice and he walked among the likes of great men like John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. May his legacy live on for those who came before, those who struggle today for social justice and for people fighting for human rights in the world.

[nevaseenamancry]

This guy was a communist. Far-left people gave him too much power. Why is he worshiped so much?

[YolandaG43]

@nevaseenamancry The beauty of this America is that even an ignorant person can share their opinion; there is something called social justice and it is not communism. Take the time to look it up and base your opinions as an informed contributor. I doubt you ever worked a day in the field, try it and you might understand who he fought to help.

[ocerjam]

Unity :-)

[xxmillhouse]

Really ? and who are you ? tell us your name and see if we even heard of your dumbass.. He was someone and he still is he still lives even though he's not around anymore

[johnnybrown1026]

this man had more then a dream he had a vision i just wish we would learn more about it when we were in school

[gallmart]

my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and dad of course, lived in Patterson, CA, and Modesto, CA. They marched with Cesar Chavez quite a few times...broke fast with him, they ate watermelon. He was a great man. A great man, who was for the working man.

[narutofightindreamer]

In '68 after Robert Kennedy and Dr. King had been murdered. I wish that Caesar could've been the one to step up to the plate and take over the mass's desperate need for a leader. Although if he had , there's little doubt that he would'nt have suffered the same fate.

[89galo]

fuck cesar chavez, pinche puto de primero no queria a los mexicanos ilegales, por que segun el le quitaban el trabajo a los campesinos mexico-americanos (CHICANOS) y no los queria el perro, no se se conozcan esa parte escondida de el q porsupuesto nunca ponen en la tv o documentales por q si no la gente lo miraria de otra forma. pero de q vio de q su puta protesta no tenia fuerza fue como pendejo a pedir la ayuda de los q una vez desprecio pinche perro. ES UN FALSO HEROE. FUCK CESAR CHAVEZ

[InWitheNew]

@89galo I hope people talk shit about you when you die. Fucking disrespectful prick.

[thegreatdisapointmnt]

viva la raza! viva the huelga...my mom grandma grandpa uncles aunts cousins all fought in la huelga, stupid fucks now use the huelga bird as a gang symbol...if cesar chavez was alive and saw wat they used it for he'd be discusted

[casper18nyc]

1) "THE OBAMA DECEPTION"  LOOK IT UP 2) ZEiTGEiST - THE MOVIE 3)NORTH AMERICAN UNION & RFID Chip TRUTH! Must SEE

some serious shit!!!!

[anitafichera]

I grew up in Delano, CA I was in high school when Bobby Kennedy came to talk with Cesar Chavez. They held a press conference at our High School. I attended the talk. My brother dated his oldest daughter Linda for many years. Cesar was a saviour to the farm labours....My Father was one. Thank you Cesar...

[oreokookie1000]

@anitafichera  Reallly?

[raulgsan]

chulo707, I agree with your text. Piolin is not the ambassador for our this issue....

[chulo707]

This is an american hero no doubt a great man, My family did the huelga in the early 70's in Sacramento California. Can anyone PLEASE respond with this video against the Video " PIOLIN LA RAFORMA MIGRATORIA INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA" PIOLIN is not a cuase for our gente, I hate the fact that a DJ PIOLIN is trying to get the immigration reform passed for PIOLIN not for our gente, When I Know CESAR CHAVEZ IS THE REASON MANY OF US WORKERS ARE BETTER OFF TODAY. Arriva CESAR CHAVEZ........

[GRocha5223]

Well at least its something. Cesar Chavez was a great man, but did not advocate for undocumented workers. At one point, the UFW even collaborated with Immigration and Naturalization Service to deport undocumented workers. Look it up.

[Mariobus1]

We all boycotted those grapes, passing out fliers at the Kroger's, my family and I, and so many others. We all worked in the fields picking. We all hoped we would be alright in our great American society amongst the privileged and others who were not so privileged. We hoped for black, white, brown, red, yellow and whoever else to be free enough to provide a good life for thier/ourselves. We realized the importance of the vegetables we were planting/picking for everybody to enjoy! Viva USA!

[gavinpop]

seeser shavez not whatever they say in the video

[lindseyg126]

Bobby kennedy and Chavez! wow what a team!

[045781]

The fasting killed him, if people honored him when he was alive, he never would have fasted.

It's only in death that he is honored, a sad country to live in.

[fruitlooplupe]

cesar chavez 's legacy lives on!!

[espiBlog]

The name is CESAR CHAVEZ, not Ceesar.... the producers of this video should have known better

[johnjacob771]

we boycotted gallo when i was a child gallo is the biggest winery in the world, I remeber him coming to the house talking with my dad.

my dad worked at gallo at the time.

[Mariobus1]

Amazing. What a story to tell. Do you remember anything else when he would come to your house?

[c6msruc3]

isnt dat like the norteno flag.

[tejanitadecorazon]

My grandparents traveled from Texas to Delano , Ca to work in the fields along Cesar Chavez . I did some boycotting in Delano in front of the store on Cecil Ave...I was about 10 years old around that time. My cousins (Alvarez) family made the newspaper SI SE PUEDE "

[MJBG415]

wuts the song called playiong in the backround?

[koyyayo]

Oye como va! hey how is it going!

[GaNgStEr719]

Hi Scool

[Animosity4UandU]

Cesar Chavez was a great man! I boycotted table grapes when I was 12 for 2 years because Cesar Chavez told Blacks that he needed us to support the UFW. I loved Bro. Chavez he could speak to anyone and everyone! He was strong and spiritual man! He deserves the recognition of a Holiday! He discouraged racial divisiveness. He used to say don't fight amongst yourselves for the crumbs that fall from the White man's table fight to be seated at the table as equals! A Great, Great Man!!!

[sheabo77]

VIVA!!!

[kerryalanwright]

Great video. For some interesting new info on Cesar Chavez type in CHESAR CHAVEZ MINUTEMAN

[papasitovelico]

cesar chavez eres nuestro padre thank you

[psykoreezn]

We showered in the rivers, slept in our van, sometimes we were underpaid, and rarely were their bathrooms and clean water, THANK YOU Cesar Chavez on behalf of my entire family. I've also walked, and volunteered for UFW (very tough work in itself).

[dryflowersagain]

My family marched with Cesar Chavez. Very proud!

[evitastories]

My father knew Cesar Chavez. I met Cesar Chavez when I was a little boy.

[yoscratchmyballs]

and my father knew marin luther king jr>i met him to when i was a little boy

[EJFSanchez80]

As a young boy in the 1980s Cesar would visit my Grandparents (active in the union since 1969) in Santa Maria CA, I used to call him papa chavez. I didn't realize who he was back then, I thought he was just a relative. I finally realized how much of a historic figure he was in the 1990s.

[GoDzSuPeRiOr]

ya yeah cesar chavez is my grandpa-roman chavez

[lovemicoco]

I had the honor of walking with Cesar as a young child we walked from Fillmore Ca to Santa Paula Ca about a 15 mile walk. It was beautiful. You don't see the same kind of passion these days. Peace and Love.

[mpjproducer]

Viva UFW and the legacy of Ceasar Chavez.

[nechimormz]

chingone from chingones no dout.

cesar had his place in haven long before he die.

my role model ever

viva cesar chavezzzzzzzzzzz cabronessss.

[Men0cide]

"SI SE PUEDE"

[oneatwobthreec4d]

Are there anymore well-known Mexican/Latino activists?

[latinostnmtn]

This video reminds me of my years as a migrant farm worker in Texas and the Huelga in Hereford Texas (el rebote de cebolla) with Jesus Moya in the early 80's. The Huelga split the latino community, but after two and a half years or so, they gave in to our demands. It was tough but sometimes we must sacrifice something to move our RAZA forward to a better life. Sinceramente, Alejandro Lopez

[reyitodelosreyes]

viva Hillary

[SICPUEDE]

Es increible cuanto se puede lograr sin disparar un tiro. Bueno, recuerden que el que quiere puede, pero ay que dar la mano uno al otro pa seguir adelante.

[closellis]

si se puede desde el valle de coachella ca.

[tejanadecorazon]

Viva Cesar Chavez

[tejanadecorazon]

I recall a wedding taking place in Delano 40 acres many year ago, back then i was a little girl . Who was that couple ?

[miguelh05]

egro5000 is right, there should be somekind of Big time movie about Cesar Chavez. His life is such a powerful and movin story. Itz about a man with a vision and hope to better his people from his generation on into present and future generations. Much luv for Cesar Chavez, his legacy and dream will go on and his life never forgotten.

[maestraayala]

Great video.. really brings home to my 1st grade students the heroism of Sr. Cesar Chavez... he is one of my heroes and my students recognize his plight and his fight for social justice.. si se puede..

[egroj5000]

hey this for movie dirctors like grogory nava,luis valdez,edward james olmos ,robert rodriguez make a movie about his life so new generation of mexican americans know him

[tuberpie68]

You forgot Salma Hayek, she has her own production company. And Salma should play Helen or Dolores!!!

[tuberpie68]

My last comment was supposed to be placed under egroj5000's comment,'cause it's a responce thereto.

[westside121812]

i thought she was an arab

[tuberpie68]

Her father is Arab, her mother is Spanish, she herself,is Mexican--like Frida Kahlo, who she so admires, & identifies with, & who ,like Salma,is one of the most Mexican people who ever lived & who had a foreign-born father(Germany). Frida's German father btw was of Jewish descent---does Salma have the solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict? I hope YouTube puts this uner westside's reply ,'cause that's where I put it!

[westside121812]

oh thats cool

[btown0990]

ahhh slvmex34 i dont think you can lump the likes of Cezar Chavez, and MLK with Malcom X. While Chavez and MLK wanted peaceful resolutions to the discrimination they faced, Malcom X actively supported whatever means neccessary. Meaning he saw violence as a means of resolving the issues he faced.

[hookherrera]

pobrecito pendejète. no se da cuenta en k pais esta. es muy feo hacer comentario tan fuerte. nuestro cesar chavez luchando sin violencia en su corazon. ni palabras feas para un desconocido. tenias k estudiar un poco mas y dar se cuenta de las glorias de aztlan. vaya tristeza k tengo k leer esas palabras tan feas sobre el cesar por alguien tan mal educado. lo siento cesar. . te keremos cesar. siempre.

la lucha se sigue.

aztlan se sigue.

si se puede !!!

estèban herrèra gonzàlez c/s

[bignachodaddy]

Viva la Raza y SI SE PUEDE

[slvmex34]

people like Malcom X, Martin Luther King Jr. , and Cesar chavez are freedom fighters and there vision is still alive today. For all races

[blahorlando]

much respect for this man mucho respeto para este hombre tan sabio y bueno.
