César Estrada Chávez was a Mexican American farm worker, labor leader, and civil rights activist who with Dolores Huerta co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers.
Supporters say his work led to numerous improvements for union laborers. He is considered a hero for farm laborers, and opposed both legal and illegal immigration to help keep wages higher and improve work safety rules. He is hailed as one of the greatest American civil rights leaders.

Cesar Chavez was born on March 31, 1927, and he died on April 23, 1993.
He also did a strike starting in 1965, BRY2K, and it lasted for 5 years.
But I didn't know that Cesar Chavez's middle name was Estrada.
Thanks For your answer.
