The Fight in The Fields

In 1960 there was a movement called the chicano movement, it was a civil rights movement that was intended for the empowerment of mexican field workers. The goals were to have rights for the farm workers, and a stable education for their children. At the time farm workers were being paid one dollar and ten cents, and after the movement started they were paid one dollar and sixty cents. The most well known fight during this movement was when farm workers insisted on unionization. This union was launched by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, grape workers went on strike and it soon became a national headline. Cesar Chavez went on a 25 day hunger strike in 1968, and soon after Robert F. Kennedy visited the farm workers to show that he was supportive of the movement. At some point the farm workers boycott outside of stores to show consumers that they should not be buying grapes, in 1970 the strike ended. That year there was an agreement signed making UFW(united farm workers) a union. In 1968 Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles after winning the California presidential primaries. I believe that it Robert F Kennedy were to be president a lot of what is going on right now would that have happened  or would have happened at a different time. It is interesting to see how many important leaders have been killed, it makes me wonder what today could have been. What would today be if Robert F Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, or many other great leaders were still alive?
