Cesar Chavez

Hippies love Cesar Chavez and consider him to be an inspirational figure for the social justice movement. Surely, he was an accomplished man, founding the United Farm Workers labor union and galvanizing support for worker’s rights in the agricultural community. But why are Northwest hippies so enamored with this guy? I mean, they want to name a road after this guy in Portland? It’s not like he invented the wheel or anything…all he did was make grapes more expensive.
