1 comments about Cesar Chavez (Hispanic Heritage).
- This little paperback (31 pages) was published in 1993, just before Chavez passed away at the age of 66. It is probably considered out of date.
But it has some great photographs of Chavez all through his life. It has a short, concise biography.
What did I learn? Chavez's grandfather immigrated from Mexico and fathered 14 children. Cesar's father was the last one to leave the family home and married rather late, at the age of 38.
Cesar did not like school, nor did he like the English language.
He fasted three times for over three weeks each. This must have been tough and may have indelibly harmed his health.
So, this book of course was published before Chavez's birthday became a state holiday in California. And we hardly hear anything anymore about the United Farm Workers. That's an area for some young person to follow up. Diximus.

2 comments about Jennifer Lopez: Unofficial.
- You aren't going to gain great insight on what makes Jennifer so driven or anything like that. But it was fun to go through it and see all the pictures, most of which I had never seen before. They also give you some interesting tidbits on her personal life. If you're a fan and want something fun about J.Lo, I'd get this.
