Grant Me Courage To Serve

We Cannot Seek Achievement For Ourselves And Forget About Progress And Prosperity For Our Community... Our Ambitions Must Be Broad Enough To Include The Aspirations And Needs Of Others, For Their Sakes And For Our Own.

In The No-nonsense School Of Adversity, Which We Did Not Choose For Ourselves, We Are Learning How To Operate A Labor Union.

...many Have The Idea That Organizing People Is Very Difficult, But It Isn't. It Becomes Difficult Only At The Point Where You Begin To See Other Things That Are Easier. But If You Are Willing To Give The Time And Make The Sacrifice, It's Not That Difficult To Organize.

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

This Is The Beginning Of A Social Movement In Fact And Not In Pronouncements. We Seek Our Basic, God - Given Rights As Human Beings...we Shall Do It Without Violence Because It Is Our Destiny. To The Growers And To All Who Oppose Us, We Say The Words Of Benito Juarez: `respect For Another's Right Is The Meaning Of Peace.'
