In the 1960s farm workers in the United States began to organize and fight for better working conditions. The movement was famously led by Cesar Chavez, a farm worker turned civil rights activist born to Mexican-American parents. Jose Cortez was one of the men who was charged with protecting Chavez during his rallies in Arizona. Cortez tells us about how the farmworker movement still resonates in his life.
