On Wednesday, the world learned of the death of civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, the farmworker advocate who spent a lot of time in the South Bay developing relationships, both business and personal. Even late in life, she served as an inspiration to generations of people.
John Ramos reports.
Dolores Huerta was a labor activist and civil rights leader who co-founded the group that later became the United Farm Workers.
In her first public interview since the investigation, Dolores Huerta said that at the time of the incidents, she felt alone and trapped.
Allegations of abuse of women and girls by union leader Cesar Chavez were first reported by the New York Times on Wednesday.
She's considered one of the most respected and influential labor leaders of our time. Dolores Huerta broke more than a glass ceiling; she led a revolution in the farm fields of California's Central Valley.
