Grant Me Courage To Serve Others; For

There Are Vivid Memories From My Childhood-what We Had To Go Through Because Of Low Wages And The Conditions, Basically Because There Was No Union. I Suppose If I Wanted To Be Fair I Could Say That I'm Trying To Settle A Personal Score. I Could Dramatize It By Saying That I Want To Bring Social Justice To Farm Workers. But The Truth Is That I Went Through A Lot Of Hell, And A Lot Of People Did. If We Can Even The Score A Little For The Workers Then We Are Doing Something. Besides, I Don't Know Any Other Work I Like To Do Better Than This. I Really Don't.

We Must Understand That The Highest Form Of Freedom Carries With It The Greatest Measure Of Discipline.

We Shall Strike. We Shall Organize Boycotts. We Shall Demonstrate And Have Political Campaigns. We Shall Pursue The Revolution We Have Proposed. We Are Sons And Daughters Of The Farm Workers' Revolution, A Revolution Of The Poor Seeking Bread And Justice.

Organizing Is An Educational Process. The Best Educational Process In The Union Is The Picket Line And The Boycott. You Learn About Life.

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.
