I was fortunate enough to hear Cesar Chavez speak a couple of times. On both occasions he stressed his differences with other civil rights leaders, both in America and abroad ---he believed the highest form of protest was the hunger strike since it brought attention to a cause without injuring the interests, property or persons of innocent people. It's true he was involved in other forms of strikes ---but he repeatedly made plain his opposition to the concept of 'the ends justify the means': Violence, arson & murder were never on the table.
It would be nice if Biden & the DNC paid some real attention, rather than lip service, to Cesar's philosophy between now and November.
