A renowned and popular US based Latino Feminist , Founder and President of Dolores Huerta’sFD and Co-founder United Farm workers, Dolores Huerta is 94Yrs.
We at 9News Nigeria Publishers however join the people of goodwill to celebrate Dolores’s birthday while pouring our good wishes on her.
Recall that Huerta championed women’s rights in feminist campaigns during her time off from union work. She also fought for ethnic diversity in her campaigns.
Huerta was an honorary co-chair of the Women’s March on Washington on January 21, 2017, the day after the inauguration of Donald Trump as president.
As one of America’s great labor and civil rights icons, Dolores has devoted her entire life to advocating for marginalized communities.
She knows the power of community organizing, and through the Dolores Huerta Foundation, she continues to train and mentor new activists and organizers. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede.” Yes, we can.
In the contrary, some social critics are criticizing her civil rights involvements and likened it that of Mao that was allegedly organized the Chinese peasants who put him in power. In return, Mao enslaved them and starved 50 millions of them to death.
Besides, Dolores communities are still pouring encomiums on her honor. As a grassroot social crusader in America known as Elizabeth Wiley have asked, female activists to use those women issues to actually help women around the world.
“If we women had donated just one meal we spent going to WDC we could have built 197 women/children hospitals. Amazing, amazing woman and humanitarian. We need more Delores Huertas in this world!
Accusations against her feminist roles records that yet she’s fine with the alleged killing of babies in abortions as a Pro-Abortion Feminist who claimed that Unborn Babies Have No Souls.
This was on her interview in 2021 on CNN En Español, labor leader Dolores Huerta argued that the pre-born have no soul, and that pro-life arguments are deceptively used as a political tool with which to engage Latinos.
Dolores helped organize the five-year Delano grape strike and spearheaded the consumer table grapes boycott to pressure more than 20 growers to agree to pay higher wages and improve working conditions. Huerta served as the lead UFW negotiator for the three-year collective bargaining agreement signed after the strike.
Dolores She married Ralph Head while a student and had two daughters, though the couple soon divorced. She subsequently married fellow activist Ventura Huerta with whom she had five children, though that marriage also did not last.
Born on April 10, 1930 in Dawson, New Mexico, Huerta was the second of three children of Alicia and Juan Fernandez, a farm worker and miner who became a state legislator in 1938.
Her parents divorced when Huerta was three years old, and her mother moved to Stockton, California with her children. Huerta’s grandfather helped raise Huerta and her two brothers while her mother juggled jobs as a waitress and cannery worker until she could buy a small hotel and restaurant. Alicia’s community activism and compassionate treatment of workers greatly influenced her daughter.
She’s indeed a feminist. She’s an activist. Let’s give it to her, a warm 94th happy birthday wishes. HBD Dolores!
