All people make an impact in their life, however small it may be. Some certain indivuals stand out. They leave a lasting mark on the world and will be remembered long after they have passed away. Cesar Chavez and Harriet Tubman have both left an imprint on this world. They fought for equality, human rights, inspired other to resist maltreatment, and put themselves in danger to protect others.
Cesar Chavez was a prodigious leader that gave farm workers the will to resist the inhumane treatment they received in their job. The UFW reached monumental changes under the lead of Cesar Chavez and is the first triumphant workers union in American history.

Cesar Chavez has taken all the credit for the betterment of rights for field workers. Was it not field workers who came together and fought? Cesar is just a face that they put in front of their uprise. This uprise helped some peoples lives, sure, but it also ruined others. Has anyone ever stopped and gave a thought for the field owners? They are being marked as villians when really, they are just being stepped on to make Cesar Chavez look good. Harriet Tubman has been called an idiot her whole life.

Harriet Tubman was sent back to her master because she purposely wanted to leave. She was treated horribly. What human wouldn’t have wanted to escape that treatment? Harriet Tubman and Cesar Chavez are incredible in their every aspect. They stood for equipoise, human rights, were inspirational, and put themselves in danger to protect others. Cesar Chavez started a revolution that defended workers rights. Harriet Tubman helped slaves escape the torment of their masters. Both left a lasting effect in this
