Answer:

Chavez became interested in farm workers' rights because:

His family experienced unfair treatment as migrant workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cesar Chavez was a labor leader who led nonviolent protests in order to draw attention to the dreadful conditions of field workers. Chavez himself, as well as his family, experienced unfair treatment as migrant workers. He did not become involved because of his education or simply by observing what happened. Chavez lived the inhuman reality of an extremely low salary and awful living conditions. He famously went on hunger strikes as a nonviolent means to attract the media's as well as politician's attention to their cause.
