Cesar Chavez - Yes we can!

Witness History

Available for over a year

In the 1960s, a wave of strikes and protest marches by Mexican-American farm-workers inspired Latinos across the US. The movement was led by Cesar Chavez - a man now regarded by his community as a civil rights hero. Witness speaks to Dolores Huerta, who worked closely with Chavez and coined the slogan "Yes We Can!"
