Here are a couple of my favorite quotes of his:
"Preservation of ones own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures."
"Once social change has begun it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducated a person that has learned to read. You cannot humiliate a person who feels pride. You cannot oppress people who are not afraid anymore."
Clockwise from top-left:
- Meet your class at the local farmers market to meet the folks that bring us our food. Great job Mrs. K!
- Use this gardening poster to help your students evaluate their own learning.
- Grab this free facts sheet about Chavez's life.
- Esperanza Rising is the BEST book I've read about migrant farm life. It's riveting and gives an amazing perspective on the lives of families that lived the life of inequality Chavez worked to abolish. I couldn't put the book down! However, it is not for young children.
