olent Resistance Chavez believed in to bring about change. Chavez is comparing his followers to Dr. King’s . Chavez believes that joining in the cause will give people valuable skills. Our nonviolent cause will give you skills that will last a lifetime. When Dr. King sounded the call for justice, the freedom riders answered the call in droves. I am giving you the same opportunity to join the same cause, to free your fellow human beings from the yoke of oppression.
