The Fight Is Never About Grapes Or

To Make A Great Dream Come True, The First Requirement Is A Great Capacity To Dream; The Second Is Persistence.

We Can Choose To Use Our Lives For Others To Bring About A Better And More Just World For Our Children. People Who Make That Choice Will Know Hardship And Sacrifice. But If You Give Yourself Totally To The Non-violence Struggle For Peace And Justice You Also Find That People Give You Their Hearts And You Will Never Go Hungry And Never Be Alone. And In Giving Of Yourself You Will Discover A Whole New Life Full Of Meaning And Love.

History Will Judge Societies And Governments - And Their Institutions - Not By How Big They Are Or How Well They Serve The Rich And The Powerful, But By How Effectively They Respond To The Needs Of The Poor And The Helpless.

We Have Suffered Unnumbered Ills And Crimes In The Name Of The Law Of The Land. Our Men, Women, And Children Have Suffered Not Only The Basic Brutality Of Stoop Labor, And The Most Obvious Injustices Of The System; They Have Also Suffered The Desperation Of Knowing That The System Caters To The Greed Of Callous Men And Not To Our Needs. Now We Will Suffer For The Purpose Of Ending The Poverty, The Misery, And The Injustice, With The Hope That Our Children Will Not Be Exploited As We Have Been. They Have Imposed Hungers On Us, And Now We Hunger For Justice.

When We Are Really Honest With Ourselves We Must Admit That Our Lives Are All That Really Belong To Us, So It Is How We Use Our Lives That Determines What Kind Of Men We Are. It Is My Deepest Belief That Only By Giving Life Do We Find Life, That The Truest Act Courage, The Strongest Act Of Manliness Is To Sacrifice Ourselves For Others In A Totally Non-violent Struggle For Justice. To Be A Man Is To Suffer For Others, God Help Us To Be Men.
