Hartmire Remarks at Farm Worker Rally, 4/10/66
|
|
“Until I resigned two (2) weeks ago I was a member of the California State
Social Welfare Board, closely associated with Governor Brown’s efforts
to eradicate poverty. His absence today, for whatever reason — and the Governor
should know that he is not the only one who is accustomed to spending Easter
Sunday with his family — his absence today makes a joke of the efforts to
eradicate poverty among farm workers.”

Cesar Chavez Talks in New York, 1968
|
|
“We are not in the age of miracles, and yet it is surprising that we can attract,
and keep, and increase the type of support that is needed to keep our economic
struggle going for 33 months. It is a struggle in which the poorest of the poor
and weakest of the weak are pitted against the strongest of the strong.
We are fighting not against the family farm, not against agriculture,
but against agribusiness.”

A Dialogue with Congress 10/01/1969, File 3
|
|
“I would just give you one example of the caliber of
justice we get in the Kern County Superior Court. Last August 22nd
I went to the Kern Country Agricultural Commissioner who keeps records
of commercial pesticide applicators, the accounts of poisons that they
use and when they use them. I went to the Commissioner to see these
reports. He told me to come back the next day. Two hours after I
left the office, the Kern County Superior Court issued an injunction
forbidding me to see the records. We have been engaged in a battle
for over a year to see those records.” Mr. Jerome Cohen
