Welcome back!

This month Leadership has chosen to highlight civil rights leaders from around the globe in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday on Monday, January 18. Dolores Clara Fernández Huerta is an American labor leader and civil rights activist who, with Cesar Chavez, is a co-founder of the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers. Huerta helped organize the Delano Grape Strike and Boycott in 1965 in California and was the lead negotiator in the workers’ contract that was created after the strike. Dolores Huerta & César Chávez worked together as labor leaders & environmentalists for 30 years. They realized early on that working together they could achieve much more than working separately.
