凱薩查維斯的成長過程
凱薩查維斯出生於亞利桑那州尤馬附近的北吉拉谷，家中孩童數共六個。他的父母擁有一座農場及一家小型雜貨店，但1930年代的大蕭條讓他們喪失了所有的家產。為了存活下來，凱薩查維斯及他的家人成為農場季節工人，為找工作的他們，在加州居無定所。這是一份艱辛的工作，而且他們無法在任何一處久留；查維斯一家一年四季都得進行採收工作。冬季是豌豆及萵苣、春季是櫻桃及豆子、夏季是玉米及葡萄及秋季是棉花。您認為對查維斯一家人來說，這是個怎麼樣的生活？
Cesar Chavez was born in North Gila Valley, near Yuma, Arizona. He was one of six children. His parents owned a ranch and a small grocery store, but during the Great Depression in the 1930s they lost everything. In order to survive, Cesar Chavez and his family became migrant farm workers, traveling around California to find work. It was hard work, and they did not live in the same place for long. The Chavez family would pick peas and lettuce in the winter, cherries and beans in the spring, corn and grapes in the summer, and cotton in the fall. What kind of a life do you think this was for Cesar's family?
