History is the root of all people, it is what gives one foundation, what gives one projection,and gives one direction. A person with out history, with out a past does not exist, and has no future.

Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.

"The Wall" is not just along the border. They are put up, against Chicanos, against those who speak in “Spanglish,†against women, gays, lesbians, elders, children… “The Wall goes reproducing itself in each part of each home, in the street, and it is not just erected by those above. We build them ourselves.†-Subcomandante Marcos, October 2006
