Final answer:
Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta founded the NFWA in 1962 and fought for the rights of Mexican American agricultural laborers through the UFW. They organized strikes and boycotts to improve wages and working conditions.
Step-by-step explanation:
In 1962, Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), which later merged with Filipino grape pickers' strike to form the United Farm Workers (UFW). They fought for the rights of Mexican American agricultural laborers and organized strikes and boycotts to improve wages and working conditions. In 1965, Chavez called for a nationwide boycott of California grapes, which eventually led to the grape growers agreeing to better pay and benefits for the workers in 1970.
