“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore”
— Cesar Chavez
Simplified Meaning:
When society starts to change, it keeps going. A person who learns to read will always know how to read. Someone who feels pride can't be made to feel ashamed again. People who lose their fear can't be controlled anymore.
