"The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people." Cesar Chavez |
:: Sunday, April 13, 2003 ::
In wartime, civil liberties can be limited in U.S. The speech was a fierce condemnation of war, delivered to a crowd at an Ohio convention. The orator lashed out at the government for charging into a battle that the reluctant working class had to fight. "If war is right, let it be declared by the people!"
It was 1918 and the conflict was World War I. For his words of dissent, socialist leader Eugene Debs claimed protection from the First Amendment - but he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.------------------------------------------- posted 2:40 PM :: reference link ::
