Cesar Chavez called off the boycott of California table grapes begun in 1984 by union organizer Chavez, saying the goals of the strike had been met.

“You are never strong enough that you don’t need help.”

“It is not enough to teach our young people to be successful . . . so [that] they can realize their ambitions,
so [that] they can earn good livings, so [that] they can accumulate the material things that this society
bestows. Those are worthwhile goals. But it is not enough to progress as individuals while our
friends and neighbors are left behind.”

“The first principle of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation with everything humiliating.”

“Being of service is not enough. You must become a servant of the people. When you do,
you can demand their commitment in return.”

— César E. Chávez

On November 20, 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights – the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. Of the twelve articles proposed, New Jersey actually approved eleven. The first, relating to how federal representation would be determined based on population, was ratified by New Jersey but not by the required number of states. The second, relating to the salaries of members of Congress, was rejected by New Jersey, but then approved in 1992 as the 27th Amendment. Articles 3 through 12 became the 1st through 10th Amendments, guaranteeing the fundamental rights and freedoms of all American Citizens. A full transcription and image of New Jersey’s original parchment Bill of Rights are provided below.
