Huerta

Dolores Huerta is a legendary leader within the farmworkers and civil rights movement who, along with César Chávez, co-founded the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW).

She was on hand for the recent dedication of the César E. Chavéz National Monument in Keene, California. It is a great tribute to the late labor leader, notes Huerta, and it represents “recognition of the farmworker, of the Latino community and of the immigrant community.”
