In the final analysis it doesn't really matter what the political system is...We don't need perfect political systems we need perfect participation.
Cesar Chavez

We don't know how God chooses martyrs. We do know that they give us the most precious gift they possess - their very lives.
Cesar Chavez
Image
Non-violence exacts a very high price from one who practices it. But once you are able to meet that demand then you can do most things.
Cesar Chavez
Image
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
