“Like the other immigrant groups, the day will come when we win the economic and political rewards which are in keeping with our numbers in society. The day will come when the politicians do the right thing by our people out of political necessity and not out of charity or idealism.
That day may not come this year. That day may not come during this decade. But it will come, someday!
And when that day comes, we shall see the fulfillment of that passage from the Book of Matthew in the New Testament, "That the last shall be first and the first shall be last."”

Cesar Chavez (1927–1993) American farm worker, labor leader, and civil rights activist

And on that day, our nation shall fulfill its creed — and that fulfillment shall enrich us all.
