Quotes From the Film | Lincoln Institute Publications

Quotes From the Film

"We're part of what makes this community, you know, work from day to day. We're part of the economic engine, you know, that allows us to prosper. If you were to take away the whole Latino work force, this community would just stop to a halt. There wouldn't be the services; the infrastructure would basically be eliminated."
 --Edmundo Hildalgo, Chief Operating Officer, Chicanos Por La Causa

"As we speak here today, there are thousands of people who are coming here with the same dreams, with the same ambitions. And those folks change this place and change the values and the direction of this place. And it's still a city that's in its adolescence and it's going through huge growing pains."
 --Alfredo Gutierrez, Arizona State Senator, 1972-1986
