Description:
<p>Grassroots organizer Dolores Huerta talks to Kim about her first encounter with the deep poverty of California farmworkers in the 1950s, and how she took on the status quo (in a wrinkled sweater) during the landmark Delano Grape Strike. All the time, she fought on two fronts: resisting exploitation and also resisting sexism, sometimes from within the very labor movement she helped to launch.</p><p>See the portraits we discuss:</p><p><a href="https://www.si.edu/newsdesk/photos/dolores-huerta-huelga-during-grape-strike-delano-california-sept-24-1965" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Huerta with ‘Huelga’ Sign</a></p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Eefx6IDI39Qejfj-YQNAZ7D74dC08I-UROpI3eGx9bI/edit#slide=id.g11eb8b33c16_0_14" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Huerta at Delano Grape Strike</a></p><p><a href="https://npg.si.edu/object/npg_S_NPG.2016.137?destination=edan-search/default_search%3Fedan_local%3D1%26edan_q%3Ddolores%252Bhuerta" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Huerta with Fred Ross</a></p><p><a href="https://npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.2015.23?destination=edan-search/default_search%3Fedan_local%3D1%26edan_q%3Ddolores%252Bhuerta" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Huerta by Barbara Carrasco</a></p><p><a href="https://npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.2005.121?destination=edan-search/default_search%3Fedan_local%3D1%26edan_q%3DGloria%252Bsteinem" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes</a></p>
