The People United Will Never Be Defeated.

Once Social Change Begins, It Cannot Be Reversed. You Cannot Un-educate The Person Who Has Learned To Read. You Cannot Humiliate The Person Who Feels Pride. You Cannot Oppress The People Who Are Not Afraid Anymore. Cesar Chavez Address To The Commonwealth Club In San Francisco, Nov. 9, 1984

Farm Workers Everywhere Are Angry And Worried That We Cannot Win Without Violence. We Have Proved It Before Through Persistence, Hard Work, Faith And Willingness To Sacrifice. We Can Win And Keep Our Own Self-respect And Build A Great Union That Will Secure The Spirit Of All People If We Do It Through A Re-dedication And Re-commitment To The Struggle For Justice Through Non-violence.

Non Violence Means People In Action. People Have To Understand That With Non-violence Goes A Hell Of A Lot Of Organization.
