Dear Mr. Barr,
… This letter does not express all that is in my
heart, Mr. Barr. But if it says nothing else it says
that we do not hate you or rejoice to see your
industry destroyed; we hate the agribusiness
system [agricultural corporations] that seeks to
keep us enslaved and we shall overcome and
change it not by retaliation or bloodshed but by a
determined nonviolent struggle carried on by
those masses of farm workers who intend to be
free and human.
Sincerely yours,
Cesar E. Chavez
— Cesar Chavez, letter to E.L. Barr Jr.,

Sagot :

It was the action of "(1) organizing a farmworkers union" that Cesar Chavez takes that is most consistent with the theme of this excerpt, although this could be applied to several things.
