I choose this image because it shows the faces of the farm workers. This image also has a variety of people and a variety of farming. The web address that is boldly stated below gives the picture more meaning and impact to the general public on just how hard farmers work.
I have always known that our farmer are crucial in society. They provide the public with food, something that no one can live without, yet they still are treated poorly. Cesar Chavez was and still is one of the most important figures in farming. He led the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA). It wasn't long before Cesar Chavez joined NFWA with another organization and formed an even larger association, The United Farm Workers. He did this during the grape strikes in the 1960's. After he helped the grape farmers strike he moved on to other types of farming, continuing to help mistreated farmers all around the United States.
I too find The NFWA and the UFW very inspirational. I like that you chose an image that shows the people who they are helping. Cesar Chavez is a shaker and a mover and will always be the symbol for these organizations.
