United Farmworkers

Labor rights leader Dolores Huerta says she was sexually abused by César Chavez amid reported allegations of abuse by others during his tenure as president of The United Farm Workers union.

At 91 years old, Dolores Huerta, the iconic farmworker activist who worked alongside Cesar Chavez, is still pushing for worker rights and the rights of women. The director of the Dolores Huerta Foundation is the keynote speaker at the 29th Annual Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta Celebration in Albuquerque tomorrow at The National Hispanic Cultural Center.
