The civil rights icon coined the phrase "Sí, se puede" during her fight for farmworkers' rights in the 1970s. As a Chicana, she speaks about belonging in the U.S. and the renewed spotlight on racism.

91, and still charging up the hill. The power of one person. The power of you.
I can’t believe she’s 91. She looks great.
She a pioneer 💖
indigenous roots, nailed it 🙌🙌🙌
Sad fact is today only about 1% of farm workers are in a union . The UFW helped to improve working conditions for all farm workers in California but most still are not in the union . Cesar Chevez ran the union on the principle of Gandhi's non violent resistance , Cesar was also vegetarian and worked on animal rights .I filmed Delores Huerta and interviewed Cesar in 1979 during the boycott . I camped out for a week with the group . The film I was videographer on , The struggle, is in the UFW library . Produced by Jessie Nazareth .
Gracias Sra. Huerta por su trabajo.
In 1974 I worked directly with Dolores as her subordinate. A great leader. During a Labor Day Parade in NYC I was her body guard. Why me? I was an infantry vet!
ABC needs to show more of #SoulOfNationLatinAmericans Yes she is Pioneer.
Cesar could never have done what he did without Dolores Huerta. She never got the kudos she deserved.
Im embarrassed to say I never knew about her.
AMAZING woman!!!
No more latino or LATINX, indigenous pride all day
Privileged enough to attend one of her talks today fr she's so sweet and Im really glad I got the chance to see her in person
