Dolores Huerta’s 88th Birthday Celebration

This week on From the Vault we celebrate the 88th birthday of Dolores Huerta, who became a public figure in the mid-1960’s when she cofounded the United Farm Workers Union with Cesar Chavez. Today Dolores heads the Dolores Huerta Foundation, where she continues to fight for equality and justice for underrepresented communities.

Dan Guerrero, host of the Gaytino Report on KPFK’s show IMRU, produced this Dolores Huerta birthday show, combining personal stories with recordings from Pacifica Radio Archives spanning back to the 1960’s. It was broadcast on April 10th, 2018.
