Best known for banning the brutal “devil’s arm” hoe in 1975 after enduring its agony himself, he reshaped labor safety and inspired generations. Beyond his landmark court win, he championed voting rights, justice for the oppressed, and lived with unwavering purpose—even after losing an eye in a car crash, he ran 79 marathons. Remembered as a devoted family man and relentless fighter, his legacy lives on through students honoring him with a cortito, reminding us: believing in a better future is the first step to making it real.
