Dolores Huerta

Born 1930

As a classroom teacher, Dolores Huerta became frustrated seeing the poverty and poor treatment of the farm workers' families in her town. After seven years of organizing voter registration drives, arguing for Spanish-speaking police officers and hospital workers, and doing other community work, she was recruited to join the newly formed United Farm Workers union in its efforts to improve working conditions for farm workers. For over 30 years, she has served the organization as its vice president, as the union's chief lobbyist in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., as a labor contract negotiator, and as a key political decision maker.
