Excerpt written by Dolores Huerta in a 1969 proclamation: We have been farm workers for hundreds of years and strikers for four. It was four years ago that we threw down our plowshares
peace and tranquility to us represent too many lifetimes of unprotesting submission to a degrading social system that allows us ne
have our peace, and to win it without violence, for it is violence we would overcome the subtle spiritual and mental violence of op
human body. So we went and stood tall outside the vineyards where we had stooped for years. But the tailors of national laborles
picket lines were crippled by injunctions and harassed by growers; our strike was broken by imported scabs; our overtures to our
must come when they would talk to us, as equals.
