'''César Estrada Chávez''' ([[March 31]], [[1927]] – [[April 23]], [[1993]]), born in [[Yuma, Arizona]], was a Mexican-American farm worker, [[labor leader]], and [[civil rights]] [[activism|activist]] who, with [[Dolores Huerta]], co-founded the [[National Farm Workers Association]], which later became the [[United Farm Workers]].<ref name="points">[http://www.extramile.us/honorees/chavez.cfm The Extra Mile - Points of Light Volunteer Pathway<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Supporters say his work led to numerous improvements for union laborers. He is hailed as one of the greatest American [[civil rights]] leaders. His birthday has become [[César Chávez Day|a holiday in eight U.S. states]]. Many parks, cultural centers, libraries, schools, and streets have been named in his honor in cities across the United States. |
|||
I will answer any questions on this talk page. Please feel free to ask me any questions. |
|||
Chávez was hired and trained by [[Fred Ross]] as a [[community organizer]] in 1952 for the [[Community Service Organization]] (CSO), a Latino civil rights group. Chávez urged Mexican Americans to register and vote, and he traveled throughout California and made speeches in support of [[Labor rights|workers' rights]]. He later became CSO's national director in 1958. |
|||
Thanks! |
|||
Four years later, Chávez left the CSO. He co-founded the [[National Farm Workers Association]] with [[Dolores Huerta]]. It was later called the [[United Farm Workers]] (UFW). |

When [[Filipino American]] farm workers initiated the [[Delano grape strike]] on [[September 8]], [[1965]], to protest for higher wages, Chávez eagerly supported them. Six months later, Chávez and the NFWA led a strike of California grape pickers on the historic farmworkers march from Delano to the California state capitol in [[Sacramento, California|Sacramento]] for similar goals. In addition to the strike, the UFW encouraged all Americans to boycott table grapes as a show of support. The strike lasted five years and attracted national attention. When the U.S. Senate Subcommittee looked into the situation, [[Robert F. Kennedy|Robert Kennedy]] gave Chávez his total support. |
|||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=OGame&diff=209135037&oldid=209060027 regarding this edit] why did you not just correct my typo instead of reverting? a consensus was attained on a separate talk page on those links. i missed the .org on the english part. explain please?

|||
These activities led to similar movements in Southern Texas in 1966, where the UFW supported fruit workers in Starr County, Texas, and led a march to [[Austin, Texas|Austin]], in support of UFW farm workers' rights. In the [[Midwest United States|Midwest]], César Chávez's movement inspired the founding of two Midwestern independent unions: [[Obreros Unidos]] in Wisconsin in 1966, and the [[Farm Labor Organizing Committee]] (FLOC) in Ohio in 1967. Former UFW organizers would also found the Texas Farm Workers Union in 1975. |
|||
:1) Why is the German version the official version? |
|||
In the early 1970s, the UFW organized strikes and boycotts to protest for, and later win, higher wages for those farm workers who were working for grape and lettuce growers. During the 1980s, Chávez led a boycott to protest the use of toxic pesticides on grapes. Bumper stickers reading "NO GRAPES" and "NO UVAS"{{Fact|date=October 2008}} (the translation in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]) were widespread. He again fasted to draw public attention. UFW organizers believed that a reduction in produce sales by 15% was sufficient to wipe out the profit margin of the boycotted product. These strikes and boycotts generally ended with the signing of bargaining agreements. |
|||
:2) Why couldn't you just add a "German Version" to the original page? |
|||
:3) Why is the Gameforge page German? It should be English. |
|||
: |
|||
:I prefer English to German because English is more widely used, therefore being the unofficial main language of the world. |

Later in life, education became César's passion. The walls of his office in [[Keene, California]] (United Farm Worker headquarters) were lined with hundreds of books ranging in subject from philosophy, economics, cooperatives, and unions, to biographies of [[Gandhi]] and the [[Kennedys]]. |

==Immigration== |
|||
The UFW during Chávez's tenure was committed to restricting immigration. César Chávez and Dolores Huerta fought the [[Bracero Program]] that existed from 1942 to 1964. Their opposition stemmed from their belief that the program undermined U.S. workers and exploited the migrant workers. Their efforts contributed to Congress ending the [[Bracero Program]] in 1964. In 1973, the UFW was one of the first labor unions to oppose proposed employer sanctions that would have prohibited hiring illegal immigrants. Later during the 1980s, while Chávez was still working alongside UFW president, Dolores Huerta, the cofounder of the UFW, was key in getting the amnesty provisions into the [[Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986|1986 federal immigration act]].<ref>[http://www.ufw.org/_page.php?menu=creating&inc=legislation/agjobs/debunk.htm] Debunking falsehoods about the UFW’s stand on immigration</ref> |
|||
==''Signpost'' updated for May 12th, 2008.== |
|||
On a few occasions, concerns that illegal migrant labor would undermine UFW strike campaigns led to a number of controversial events, which the UFW describes as anti-strikebreaking events, but which have also been interpreted as being anti-immigrant. In 1969, Chávez and members of the UFW marched through the [[Imperial Valley (California)|Imperial]] and [[Coachella Valley]]s to the border of Mexico to protest growers' use of illegal immigrants as strikebreakers. Joining him on the march were both Reverend [[Ralph Abernathy]] and U.S. Senator [[Walter Mondale]].<ref>[http://boxer.senate.gov/chavez/timeline.cfm] Official Website of Barbara Boxer "César Chávez Day Timeline"</ref> In its early years, Chávez and the UFW went so far as to report illegal aliens who served as strikebreaking replacement workers, as well as those who refused to unionize, to the [[Immigration and Naturalization Service]].<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0520202198&id=HAd4W9OdLX0C&pg=PA197&lpg=PA197&ots=X9eCyCQtaq&dq=UFW+report+undocumented&sig=I-BkkeqB84_UYgjh2Fs1affaln0#PPA197,M1] Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants and the Politics of Ethnicity By David Gregory Gutiérrez at p.197-98</ref><ref>[http://www.aim.org/media_monitor/A402_0_2_0_C/]Accuracy in the Media "Why Journalists Support Illegal Immigration" By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid </ref><ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=ewnEO2GvkFIC&pg=PA89&ots=3bsbckEtw7&dq=ufw+undocumented&sig=5j3oluULLZo4AfXwTVqrmvMhyAQ#PPA90,M1] Strawberry Fields: politics, class, and work in California agriculture By Miriam J.

In 1973, the United Farm Workers set up a "wet line" along the [[United States-Mexico border]] to prevent Mexican immigrants from entering the United States illegally and potentially undermining the UFW's unionization efforts.<ref>[http://migration.ucdavis.edu/rmn/more.php?id=217_0_3_0] |

In 1973, college professors in [[Mount Angel, Oregon]] established the first four-year Mexican-American college in the United States. They chose César Chávez as their symbolic figurehead, naming the college [[Colegio Cesar Chavez]]. In the book ''[[Colegio Cesar Chavez, 1973-1983: A Chicano Struggle for Educational Self-Determination]]'' author Carlos Maldonado writes that Chávez visited the campus twice, joining in public demonstrations in support of the college. Though Colegio Cesar Chavez closed in 1983, it remains a recognized part of Oregon history. On its website the [[Oregon Historical Society]] writes, "Structured as a 'college-without-walls,' more than 100 students took classes in Chicano Studies, early childhood development, and adult education. Significant financial and administrative problems caused Colegio to close in 1983. Its history represents the success of a grassroots movement."<ref>[http://www.ohs.org/education/Our-Ways-Exhibit-2.cfm Oregon Historical Society] "Colegio César Chávez was established in 1973 on the site of the former Mt. Angel College and was the only degree-granting institution for Latinos in the nation. Structured as a "college-without-walls," more than 100 students took classes in Chicano studies, early childhood development, and adult education. Significant financial and administrative problems caused Colegio to close in 1983. Its history represents the success of a grassroots movement." Retrieved March 10, 2007</ref> |

In 1992 Chávez was awarded the [[Pacem in Terris Award]]. It was named after a 1963 [[encyclical]] letter by [[Pope John XXIII]] that calls upon all people of good will to secure peace among all nations. [[Pacem in Terris]] is [[Latin]] for "Peace on Earth." |

About talk page
I will answer any questions on this talk page. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
Thanks! KevinJi9 (talk) 01:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
ogame edit
regarding this edit why did you not just correct my typo instead of reverting? a consensus was attained on a separate talk page on those links. i missed the .org on the english part. explain please? Anubis1055 (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- 1) Why is the German version the official version?
- 2) Why couldn't you just add a "German Version" to the original page?
- 3) Why is the Gameforge page German? It should be English.
- I prefer English to German because English is more widely used, therefore being the unofficial main language of the world.
- If you have any comments, feel free to answer.
- Thanks!
