If We Are Full Of Hatred, We

We Need To Help Students And Parents Cherish And Preserve The Ethnic And Cultural Diversity That Nourishes And Strengthens This Community - And This Nation.

What I Do Shows People What Kind Of Person I Am.

I Remember With Strong Feelings The Families Who Joined Our Movement And Paid Dues Long Before There Was Any Hope Of Winning Contracts. Sometimes, Fathers And Mothers Would Take Money Out Of Their Meager Food Budgets Just Because They Believed That Farm Workers Could And Must Build Their Own Union. I Remember Thinking Then That With Spirit Like That... We Had To Win. No Force On Earth Could Stop Us.

It's Amazing How People Can Get So Excited About A Rocket To The Moon And Not Give A Damn About Smog, Oil Leaks, The Devastation Of The Environment With Pesticides, Hunger, Disease. When The Poor Share Some Of The Power That The Affluent Now Monopolize, We Will Give A Damn.

It Is Clearly Evident That Our Path Travels Through A Valley Of Teas Well Known To All Farm Workers, Because In All Valleys The Way Of The Farm Worker Has Bene One Of Sacrifice For Generations. Our Sweat And Our Blood Have Fallen On This Land To Make Other Men Rich. This Pilgrimage Is A Witness To The Suffering We Have Seen For Generations.
