Grant Me Courage To Serve Others; For

Imagine The National Guard Being Called Against A Group Of Peaceful People. How Far Can We Get; How Disgraceful Can It Become? It's The Most Disgraceful, The Most Wicked Thing I've Seen In All My Years Of Organizing Farm Labor.

...people Think Non-violence Is Really Weak And Non-militant. These Are Misconceptions That People Have Because They Don't Understand What Non-violence Means. Non-violence Takes More Guts, If I Can Put It Bluntly, Than Violence. Most Violent Acts Are Accomplished By Getting The Opponent Off Guard, And It Doesn't Take That Much Character, I Think, If One Wants To Do It.

Talk Is Cheap...it Is The Way We Organize And Use Our Lives Everyday That Tells What We Believe In.

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.

We Are Tired Of Words, Of Betrayals, Of Indifference...they Years Are Gone When The Farm Worker Said Nothing An Did Nothing To Help Himself...now We Have New Faith. Through Our Strong Will, Our Movement Is Changing These Conditions...we Shall Be Heard.
