"Wherever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Whenever they's a cop beatin' a guy, I'll be there. . . . I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad an'--I'll be the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build--why, I'll be there." ~Tom Joad
(Chapter 28, P. 419)
