Research Proposal

I'm going to do the topic of major influences in human rights and I thought Cesar Chavez would be a good topic because I would like to do something a little more positive in class.

What in his childhood caused Chavez to want to fight for human rights?
Who helped him with fighting for human rights?
Did he have a hard time for gaining latino rights?
Why agriculture?
What were the conditions of agriculture before he started to fight?

How were latinos treated before Chavez?
How are the changes that Chavez made doing now?
