Dolores Huerta, a pioneering labor organizer and co-founder of the United Farm Workers, has passed away at the age of 96. She was a prominent civil rights activist who significantly contributed to expanding rights for Hispanic Americans and influenced political landscapes. Huerta worked alongside César Chávez, co-founding the National Farm Workers Association, later known as the United Farm Workers, to improve conditions for farmworkers. She was instrumental in organizing strikes and boycotts, and famously coined the slogan "Sí, se puede." Huerta also had a connection to Senator Robert F. Kennedy, supporting his campaign and being present shortly before his assassination. In her later life, she revealed that she was raped by César Chávez decades ago, a secret she held to protect the farmworker movement. Despite facing personal trauma and sexism within the movement, Huerta remained a dedicated advocate for equality. She continued her activism into her 90s, inspiring many and advising politicians. Former President Obama acknowledged her influence on his "Yes, we can" slogan, presenting her with the Medal of Freedom. Her family announced her death, stating they will share plans to celebrate her remarkable life and legacy.
