Poor Peoples’ Campaign:
A National Call for Moral Revival
A Personal Reflection
by Rebecca Flores
Peggy Pena and I drove from San Antonio to Georgetown on Wednesday, July
28, to march the first shift, from 7 to 10 am, on the first day of the Poor Peoples’
Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. We left San Antonio at 5 am, to
arrive at Georgetown before 7 am when the march was to begin. My commitment
to march without fail this time was because I did not do so at the historic March for
Jobs on Washington in August 1963. I said, “Not this time”.
The march was well organized and insured that none of us would become over-
heated, tired, or pass out from the heat. Peggy and I had taken our Medicare cards
just in case we would need to be hospitalized.
The number of marchers had been limited to 100 because of the pandemic; we all
were masked and stayed 10 feet apart as we walked on the frontage road of I-35S.
The media was present, and as soon as we arrived carrying the UFW flag an AP
reporter approached us asking the question: “Why are you marching today?” Our
list of reasons was long, but it boiled down to the fact that the Republican leader-
ship in Texas is proposing and passing laws to exclude People of Color from fully
participating in civic engagement and in our public institutions. I reminded the
reporter that this has been the case since 1836. I have my father and mother’s poll ABOVE: Rebecca Flores, LittleJoe hernandez and Peggy Peña
