Read the excerpt from a speech by Cesar Chavez, "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." During my first fast in 1968, Dr. King reminded me that our struggle was his struggle too.

I was profoundly moved that someone facing such a tremendous struggle himself would take the time to worry about a struggle taking place on the other side of the continent. Just as Dr. King was a disciple of Gandhi and Christ, we must now be Dr. King's disciples. Dr. King challenged us to work for a greater humanity. I only hope that we are worthy of his challenge.

Dr. King reminded me that our struggle was his struggle too. He sent me a telegram which said, "Our separate struggles are really one. A struggle for freedom, for dignity, and for humanity."

Explanation:

The theme that "all people who fight for freedom are united" is best supported by the answer above because Dr King sent Cesar Chavez a telegram where he explained that they were fighting for the same thing which was freedom, dignity and humanity.

This part of Dr King's telegram shows that all freedom fighters are united in one cause, which is freedom. Be it freedom from slavery, freedom from poverty, freedom from illiteracy, that freedom binds them together.
