Dolores Huerta is a legendary labor organizer and civil rights advocate, co-founder of the United Farm Workers (originally NFWA) with Cesar Chavez in 1962. Though not a recording artist, Huerta’s influence spans decades of grassroots organizing, policy achievement, and public speaking. She played a pivotal role in the Delano grape strike and the passage of California's Agricultural Labor Relations Act (1975), plus the expansion of disability insurance for farmworkers. Recognized with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012, Huerta continues to inspire audiences through keynote talks, public events, and, in 2025, the world premiere opera Dolores by West Edge Opera in Oakland, celebrating her impact on social justice.
