""On Easter Sunday, thousands of us entered Sacramento. We swarmed the capitol steps, where Cesar Chavez announced that Schenley had agreed to recognize the union. We all clapped and shouted with joy "Si se puede!" for several minutes. After thanking the unions, the church, and all the students and civil rights workers who had helped win this one victory, Cesar Chavez told us: 'Es bueno recorder que debe haber valor, pero tambien que, en la victoria, debe haber humildad.' It is well to remember there must be courage, but also, that in victory there must be humility. As he continued speaking, I looked at the banner of the Virgen de Guadalupe and felt deeply the suffering and pain of migrant workers. What can and should I do in my life to help them? I asked myself. I did not have the answer yet."
I am using Jimenez's trilogy for my webquest. Sandra Cisneros said about him, "I thank Francisco Jimenez for honoring all brave children who grow up poor in America.""
"Third book in the series. I loved them all but I think this one was my very favorite because I loved seeing him really start to excel and become his own person. Very inspiring, I would love to meet him someday. He teaches Modern Languages and Literature at Santa Clara University."
