Reports

The reports that we did in class with leaders of certain movements ether being tribes, social classes or the worker unions has i think giving the whole class an idea of how much the word has changed and what people had to do , the sacridfces they made to gain support for there cause. For most of us today we really dont think anything when we hear about a holiday or day of recognition for these people, and i think when you sit down and read or hear about there stories it really opens your eyes. The labor problems i came upon cesar chavez and the ufw it is amazing how much attention he got from agencies like the atf and fbi just becuase he was alabor leader automaticaaly made him a suspect for communist ideas. The idea that he knew his life was under threat from all over all the time is a testiment to the strength and determination these guys had on accomplishing the basic workers rights, which meant everything to them. Most of the these guys had little or no formal education but saw the unequal treatment they were getting and decidied to do something about it under great scrutinee. Alot of these guys arent even in todays history books, which is a great example of showing where the education system is going. The acccomplishments of people like chavez will only be reconized ether farther down the road or by an expanded hisotry and reconition of labor leaders of the past century.
