It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! From September 15th to October 15th, Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans with Hispanic and Latino heritage. Today we’re recognizing Dolores Huerta for her work as civil rights activist and leader. Born in New Mexico, Huerta was the daughter of a miner, union activist, and state assemblyman. She started community activism when she was a student in Stockton HS in California. Having lived as a minority being sidelined because of her Hispanic origin, she grew up wanting to change things in society. She earned a teaching credential , and later left her job to begin a crusade to correct economic injustice. With César Chavez, she co-founded the National Farmworkers Association. She has received many awards for her community service and advocacy for workers´, immigrants and women´s rights:
Here is a quote from Dolores: Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.”
