He began his life in 1927 when he was born just outside of Yuma, Arizona(United Farm Workers). His parents named him after his grandfather(United Farm Workers). When he was still a small boy he began to learn about racial injustice. He and his parents lived in a small adobe home and his father worked hard on the farm that it was attached to.
