Dolores Huerta is a civil rights activist, feminist, labor leader and living legend who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (which later became the United Farm Workers) with Cesar Chavez in 1962. Huerta helped organize the United Farm Workers’ national grape boycott in 1965, which forced grape growers in California to sign a three-year collective bargaining agreement, raised the consciousness of the nation about deplorable working conditions for farm workers, and launched a movement to improve those conditions that continues to this day.
