I do believe that, yeah, that would have been the end of the movement pretty much at the very, very beginning.
And I can see all of the accomplishments, you know, the leadership that came out of the movement, you know, the millions of farm workers that have been helped throughout the United States of America.
And it was my personal pain.
It was my personal problem.
And, you know,
I think it was worth it, you know, because it was my cross to bear.
You know what?
I never did.
And I guess that's the one thing that I'm sorry about, because God knows, had I done that, maybe in some way it would have prevented other women and girls.
There will be strikes all over the state and throughout the country.
because Delano has shown what can be done, and the workers know that they are no longer alone.
Oh, thank you very much for having me. And I'm not sure that that's true. I believe that you're very wise and probably with everything that you've heard, even wiser than all of us at this point.
Oh, sure, yeah. I'm 94 years old.
I feel more like 65, maybe.
Well, we have been through so much. We have learned so much. We have seen so much. So we have a lot of experience that we can draw on when we have to make decisions. But it's always about empowering other people, especially young people. And that's what we as elders have to do.
Well, I like jazz. And so here in Bakersfield, California, we have a jazz workshop every Tuesday. And we go here free jazz. And we have different musicians that play. And I love dancing. I love music. Do you play an instrument? I did when I was young. I played the violin. I played the piano. But I had no talent.
Yes, I used to actually dance. I did tap. I did toe. Yes, I did flamenco when I was a youth.
Yeah, that would be fun.
Well, I had the good fortune to meet Charlie Parker, who, of course, was a great musician and Dizzy Gillespie also. Yes. I really can't keep up with the younger ones and the names of the younger ones. So I'm kind of old school, but I love young jazz also.
Well, when I was young, I grew up in Stockton, California, which is close to San Francisco. So we would always go to San Francisco or to Sacramento to see and hear all of the great jazz musicians.
