Quick Facts
"If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him...The people who give you their food give you their heart.""If you want to remember me, organize!""The burdens of generations of poverty and powerlessness lie heavy in the fields of America. If we fail, there are those who will see violence as the shortcut to change.""Although we would like to see victory come soon, we are willing to wait. In this sense, time is our ally. We learned many years ago that the rich may have money, but the poor have time.""Farm workers are society's canaries. Farm workers-and their children-demonstrate the effects of pesticide poisoning before anyone else.""People forget that the soil is our sustenance. It is a sacred trust. It is what has worked for us for centuries.""Where we have organized ... injustices soon pass into history.""Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate 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.""It's ironic that those who till the soil, cultivate and harvest the fruits, vegetables, and other foods that fill your tables with abundance have nothing left for themselves.""Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.""We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure."
