Cesar Chavez Quotes:
Ocupation: Civil rights activist
Life: March 31, 1927 - April 23, 1993
Birthday: March 31
Death: April 23
Until the chance for political participation is there, we who are poor will continue to attack the soft part of the American system - its economic structure. We will build power through boycotts, strikes, new union - whatever techniques we can develop. These attacks on the status quo will come, not because we hate, but because we know America can construct a humane society for all its citizens - and that if it does not, there will chaos.
