On Monday, March 31st., we again march with Carlos Marentes, Head of the local Agricultural Workers Center, in celebration and commemoration of Cesar Chavez, the martyr and founder of the United Farm Workers.
Chavez, leader of the mostly Mexican-American farm workers dedicated his life to the struggles for human dignity and equality on behalf of his agricultural workers.
Documented history reveals that these workers, fighting for a decent wage to feed their families and laboring under inhuman conditions were extorted, exploited and humiliated by the farm owners.
Their only hope for freedom rested on the shoulders of Cesar Chavez, this young, passionate and dedicated martyr.
Chavez’ vision of a universal freedom, justice and equality for all, especially for those similarly oppressed and mistreated and denied their God-given rights to be treated like human beings.
Dr. King, also a disciple of non-violence and a life-long civil rights martyr offered spiritual and moral support to Chavez and his cause.
Therefore we must march in support of Carlos Marentes, a devoted disciple of Chavez and a studious follower of the national Civil Rights Movement.
Marentes recently participated in the Bloody Sunday March in Selma, AL, locking arms with Revs. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others and proudly marched in solidarity with many other African Americans.
In the words of Chavez, “Our struggle is not about grapes or lettuce, it is about people”, ALL people!
Racial, cultural and ethnic divisions are not options; we owe it to our future generations to provide them with a much better and unified society.
So, as one people, let’s move forward with one vote, one voice, echoing the cry of Dr. King, ‘We shall overcome’, and that of Cesar Chavez, ‘Si, se puede’.
Rev. Lisle H. Davis,
Northeast
