Dolores Huerta, now 88, is a legend in the immigrant farm worker community. The civil rights/workers rights activist worked side by side with the better-known Cesar Chavez during the famous grape strikes of the 1960s and with him co-founded the group that would become the United Farm Workers. (Typically, the men get all the credit). She is still engaged via her Dolores Huerta Foundation, which raises up the leaders of the future.
