Evaluate the contributions of Cesar Chavez to the Hispanic American movement.

The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of the contributions of Cesar Chavez to the Hispanic American movement, weighing the strengths and limitations of his efforts. Issues that might be addressed include Chavez’s work as a community organizer and in Hispanic voter registration drives, as well as his creation of the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers. Chavez led many marches and boycotts, and used hunger strikes to gain more attention to the plight of migrant workers. In addition to economic gains, candidates may argue that Chavez’s efforts led to increased Hispanic pride and eventually the founding in 1970 of La Raza Unida; an Hispanic–American political organization.
