Cesar Chavez and Hugo Chávez: more alike than they are different

Christian Science Monitor, by Jeffrey W. Rubin Posted By: Photoonist- Wed, 31 Mar 2010 23:30:14 GMT Boston – March 31 is the birthday of the Chavez Americans love to love. Cesar Chavez led the United Farm Workers (UFW) to successfully take on California agribusiness in the 1960s, and his soft'spoken manner and fierce commitment to social justice inspired a generation of activists. (Snip) The truth is, however, that the two Chavezes are more alike than they are different. Americans’ inability to see that says more about our own political blindness than about these two charismatic fighters for social justice.
