Although Huerta is sought after as a speaker, her early life, her upbringing, her awakening as a social activist, her relationship with César E. Chávez. Her many career struggles, and her contribution to the Union Farm Workers are not well known outside of labor and Mexican American people. Dolores Huerta was born in humble surroundings
The truth about the freedom we have now comes from the years people fought in order to be able to get it. We can go back and see people such as Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King where each one fought in a different way, but all of them tried to accomplish freedom or at least the right to be treated equally. One man that fought for the people to be equally, more specific farmers, was Cesar Chavez. He was a civil rights activist and also a labor leader, who fought hard, so that

In 1939, when Cesar Chavez was 12 years old, he and his family moved to a well known barrio (neighborhood) of East San Jose, CA known as “Sal Si Puede” (“Get Out If You Can”).

The actual origin of the name Sal Si Puede is still debated by some of the old timers. Some say it was what

When I was watching the movie in the theaters, I actually felt like I was following with Cesar Chavez monitoring his actions throughout his long journey to fight for the rights of Mexican Farm Workers. Although the movie mainly concentrates on the period from 1965 to 1970, when Cesar Chavez led a strike of grape-farm workers that brought him into the national media glare, the Cesar Chavez
