Answer 2

Answer:

He was once a community organizer.

Explanation:

César Chávez was an American peasant leader and civil rights activist who with Dolores Huerta co-founded the National Association of Peasants in 1962, which was later recognized as the Union of Peasants. As a Mexican peasant worker, Chávez became the most recognized Latin American civil rights activist, and was strongly promoted by the US labor movement, which sought to enroll Hispanic members. His promotion of unionism through public relations and the use of aggressive but nonviolent tactics turned the struggle of the peasant workers into a moral cause that had support at the national level. By the late 1970s, their tactics had forced growers to recognize the UFW as the negotiating spokesperson for 50,000 peasant workers in California and Florida.
