SAN JOSE — Famed civil rights activist and labor leader Cesar Chavez’s family home, where he lived from 1951 to 1953, is on the market, and a local nonprofit is looking to purchase it.
Chavez, who in 1962 co-founded the National Farm Workers Association with Dolores Huerta, lived in the San Jose home with his family for several years while working in nearby apricot orchards. Amigos de Guadalupe Executive Director Maritza Maldonado declined to comment, but the nonprofit plans to restore the home and use it for community education purposes and housing, according to Mayor Sam Liccardo.
Councilmember Magdalena Carrasco, who represents the district where Chavez’s home is located, called the neighborhood a “historic” part of San Jose.
