We Draw Our Strength From The Very

Do Not Romanticize The Poor...we Are All People, Human Beings Subject To The Same Temptations And Faults As All Others. Our Poverty Damages Our Dignity.

I Have Met Many, Many Farm Workers And Friends Who Love Justice And Who Are Willing To Sacrifice For What Is Right. They Have A Quality About Them That Reminds Me Of The Beatitudes. They Are Living Examples That Jesus' Promise Is True: They Have Ben Hungry And Thirsty For Righteousness And They Have Been Satisfied. They Are Determined, Patient People Who Believe In Life And Who Give Strength To Others. They Have Given Me More Love And Hope And Strength Than They Will Ever Know.

It Is Clearly Evident That Our Path Travels Through A Valley Of Teas Well Known To All Farm Workers, Because In All Valleys The Way Of The Farm Worker Has Bene One Of Sacrifice For Generations. Our Sweat And Our Blood Have Fallen On This Land To Make Other Men Rich. This Pilgrimage Is A Witness To The Suffering We Have Seen For Generations.

Perhaps We Can Bring The Day When Children Will Learn From Their Earliest Days That Being Fully Man And Fully Woman Means To Give One's Life To The Liberation Of The Brother [and Sister] Who Suffers. It Is Up To Each One Of Us. It Won't Happen Unless We Decide To Use Our Lives To Show The Way.

You Are Never Strong Enough That You Don't Need Help.
