Explanation:

Cesar Chavez, author of this speech, was a Hispanic-American who was born to immigrants in Arizona. His entire life he had to face segregation and harsh treatment from white Americans, just like African Americans. He made it his life´s goal to fight against segregation and mistreatment but not through violence, but rather, through nonviolence, following the examples of Gandhi and Saint Francis of Assisi. He became the founder of the United Farm Workers, in 1962 and he used the inspiration he got from such celebrities as Martin Luther King. Just like King, Chavez believed in the need to fight against racial segregation, and differences between Americans due to this factor, but not through violent acts. When Chavez, in his speech says: "We must learn his lessons and put his views into practice, so that we may truly be free at last," referring to Dr. King, he is urging the American people to overcome their differences, to follow the leadership that was set by Dr. King and fight segregation but not through violent acts. This is why the answer is C.
