Nonetheless Chvez left a significant legacy which is insufficiently acknowledged by MrBardacke. In leading by example and through the sheer force of his will he raised the statureof Mexican-Americans not just in California and the south-west but throughout the UnitedStates.

Streets, parks and buildings are named after him.In California his birthday, March 31st, is a state holiday. His truth is marching on.
