Dolores Huerta is a fundamental advocate for the rights of workers, immigrants, and women. She has made pivotal contributions in dismantling long-standing discrimination, disenfranchisement in minority communities, and ultimately working towards a more inclusive, just world. However, her impact is substantially less accredited than her counterpart, Cesar Chavez. Why is Huerta's role less celebrated? Let's give credit where it is due and dive into some historical reclaiming as we examine a chunk of history that has been sequestered.
