2008: Cesar Chavez: An Organizer’s Tale: Speeches, Penguin Books [0]
Collection of speeches, interviews, letters, by United Farm Workers of America leader Cesar Chavez
The content of the book comes from Chavez’s entire career, beginning with a 1965 speech titled We Shall Overcome discussing a strike and the pressures on the union, very inspired by the rhetoric of the Civil Rights Movement, and ending with a 1991 eulogy to his mother.
One piece of particular interest is titled “On Money” wherein he describes how to do union organizing and strike actions without any money - how to effectively organize poor people.
A few of the pieces are memorials to murdered union members.
