“Children of farm workers should be as proud of their parents’ professions as other children are of theirs. Farm workers are involved in the planting, cultivation and harvesting of the greatest abundance of food known in this society.
Our very lives are dependent, For sustenance, on the sweat and sacrifice of the campesinos. César Chávez

Dolores Huerta has worked to improve social and economic conditions for farm workers and to fight discrimination.
To further her cause, she created the Agricultural Workers Association (AWA) in 1960 and co-founded what would become the United Farm Workers (UFW).
Huerta stepped down from the UFW in 1999, but she continues to her work to improve the lives of workers, immigrants and women.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness;only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.

It is tragic that those who till the soil, cultivate and harvest the fruits, vegetables and other food that fill your tables with abundance have nothing left for themselves. César Chévez

"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."
Students must have initiative; they should not be mere imitators. They must learn to think and act for themselves - and be free.
The end of all knowledge should surely be service to others.

President Obama changed the regulations so that employees had more rights in terms of wages and contracts, while employers now have more responsibility in terms of documenting workers’ hours and better salaries for workers.
