Dolores Huerta was a pioneering labor organizer and civil rights icon who co-founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez in the 1960s. Huerta has passed away at 96.
Huerta devoted much of her life to improving working conditions for farmworkers and championing the rights of marginalized communities.
Earlier this year, Huerta revealed to the “New York Times” that in 1966, she was raped by Chavez. Huerta told the Times she didn’t report the attack because she feared no one in their union would believe her.
Joe Garcia, Vice President of Public Policy at Chicanos Por La Causa, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss Dolores Huerta’s legacy.
