¡Sí se puede!, la vida y activismo de Dolores Huerta​. ​CNN​,

www.cnn.com/videos/spanish/2017/10/31/cnnee-pkg-jaqueline-hurtado-dolores-huerta-a-

la-pantalla-grande.cnn. Dolores Huerta had to fight through a multitude of struggles for

her cause. At the time Arizona said that you can not do this and that it was not possible,

in this struggle Dolores thought of something. She thought they might say we can not,

but actually we can do it. This lead to her creation of "¡Sí se puede!" translated to yes it

can be done. Originally created by Dolores this phrase has been used with multiple

organizations and grown to a household phrase of "yes we can".

photograph of Dolores Huerta and other delegates signed charter documents which

founded the National Farm Workers Association in Fresno, California. The photographer

intended to capture the moment which Huerta had been working up to since she started as

an activist. Dolores Huerta had sometimes thought her time of social awareness and

activities with other social and political groups were trivial. This photo marks the

beginning of when Huerta found her calling and cause in life. The intended audience is

the people who want to look back on the time when the National Farm Workers

Association, now the United Farm Workers, began and when Huerta truly devoted her

life, passion, and energy to be an advocate and activist for human rights and equal rights.

This source is similar to the article about the Chicano Movement as it visualizes what

happened to start such massive movements like the Farmworkers Movement and the

Chicano Movement. The photograph illuminates the relevance of what Huerta was

El Malcriado Staff. ​Dolores Huerta, Gallo Strike, California, 1973.​ 1973. ​Walter P. Reuther

Library,​ reuther.wayne.edu/node/123. Accessed 27 Sept. 2018. The image of Dolores at

the Gallo Strike in California is very prominent to how devoted she was to her cause. El

Macriado Staff, the group who took photographs at the strikes and boycotts for the

United Farm Workers, are known to document many historic moments concerning Latin

movements and protests. The intended audience of this image is anyone who wishes to

look back to the Gallo strikes where Dolores came to visit the picket lines and encourage

the protestors to stay strong and resolute. The image of Dolores at the Gallo strikes in

California is comparable to the cartoon of "Homenaje a Dolores Huerta: 1965 California

broccoli harvest: 1995" where Dolores is the only one without a bandana over her face as

she holds a sign above her head. The image of Dolores Huerta is important because

Huerta can be found where the action is and she is always in the trenches with her people.

Huerta goes through the hardships with her people, but never sending sacrificial lambs

for the cause.

 Accessed 21 Nov. 2018. Dolores Huerta is a woman who a has quite an arrest record. She

got arrested, most of the time, for civil disobedience. Often when they went to talk to

farmers and workers on the fields, the police would come and arrest Huerta for civil

disobedience or trespassing. Dolores has such a long record because she would constantly

go to fields and farms to get supporters to help themselves by striking for better wages,

safer work places, and stopping child labor.

Accessed 21 Nov. 2018. As a woman, Dolores Huerta was often looked down by the men

around her. Even the men who were on her "side" per se. During the United Farm

Workers Movement, Dolores noted each time a sexist comment was made. When she

called the men out, they were shocked. I think it is surprising that when people insult

others, they may not completely realize what they are doing. Eventually, the sexist

comments decreased and Dolores had made these men aware that they had disrespected

her and that they should be respecting women because Dolores was part of the backbone

for the United Farm Workers Movement.

Accessed 21 Nov. 2018. Dolores Huerta is a woman who has been overlooked for the

past 6 decades for her work as an activist because she was always surrounded by men in

her work. As a woman, the men around her constantly took the credit for what she did

and called it a team effort. Dolores Huerta encourages other women to take credit for

what they do and to not let others take credit for what they did because it simply comes

natural to not have to note every accomplishment and success.

Accessed 21 Nov. 2018. When young, girls often told to not get their dresses dirty, but it

should be that we can get our dresses dirty and be able to do everything a man is capable

of doing. Dolores Huerta shows this viewpoint and belief because she also squared with

the some of the biggest names in agriculture and Huerta did a better job at fighting for

social equality in the face of patriarchy. This source shows how Dolores Huerta feels that

women should not be brought up with the weak mindset of keeping their dresses clean

because then it allows women to be manipulated emotionally, psychologically, and

eventually, politically.

support of Cesar pushing her to get nominated as vice president for the United Farm

Workers.

for human rights. Arlene Biala is a Filipina poet and an artist who was born in California.

Garcia is an actress who was born in Mexico and has influence in the Hispanic

community. They spoke of Huerta's accomplishments and triumphs after enduring many

hardships and tragedies through her life. The speakers also highlighted Dolores Huerta's

massive contribution to the Farmworkers Movement. The intended audience of their

speeches was the exhibition for the California Farmworkers Movement. This source of

the artists speaking about Dolores expresses the emotions which went into making the

movement. The exhibition speeches compare to the book, "Dolores Huerta: Labor Leader
 and Civil Rights Activist" by Robin Doak. Both sources detail Huerta's tragedies and her

jumping of the hurdles as she pushed for equal rights. Her perseverance can be shown in

the sources of the speeches and the book as she triumphs over her struggles.

Accessed 12 Nov. 2018. Speech. On April 10th, 1966 Dolores Huerta gave a speech in

Sacramento, California on behalf of the National Farm Workers Association. Her speech

was empowering to the workers, and worrisome for the government. She made it very

evident that she was not going to back down, and neither was the workers. It is speeches

like this that show Dolores grit through tragedy, she knows what it will take in order to

to triumph against social and gender inequalities.

their family, Huerta would stay with her brothers all the time. Dolores Huerta is the

middle child, between an older brother and a younger brother, she would follow them

everywhere and hang out with all their friends. As she grew, Huerta had a bit of a culture

shock because women at the time would only hang out with other women. Dolores

Huerta was always surrounded by boys when she was younger so when she got older, it

was an entire change of scenery for her until she started her life as an activist.

Accessed 21 Nov. 2018. As a woman, a man's permission was often needed. Dolores

Huerta grew up in a household where her mother was the dominant figure, but when

Huerta got involved with the farm workers, Dolores Huerta saw an atmosphere where

women were more subservient to men. Dolores Huerta was not always a woman who led
 others, delegated jobs, and organized movements. Huerta found inspiration from leaders

who were leaders, like Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem. Seeing how they were able to be

leaders, but also encompass everything a woman was. This impacted Dolores Huerta by

showing her it was okay to take the lead and it gave her permission to be able to carry out

her duties as a leader, but also as a mother, wife, daughter, and sister.

began. Dolores explains how she idolized Cesar Chavez before they started working

together with the United Farm Workers because of Cesar's impressive organizing skills.

Cesar Chavez did not really pay much attention to Dolores Huerta until she gave a report

about the bracero program at a convention. When Dolores and Cesar sent their organized

farmers to their own unions, it would fall apart so Chavez approached Dolores about

creating the United Farm Workers. Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez then started the

United Farm Workers for the sake of social equality for Mexican-American farmers.

News-Sentinel is stationed is a daily newspaper based in Lodi, California, United States

and serving northern San Joaquin and southern Sacramento counties. The author quotes

Dolores Huerta and several other officials on how they feel about the situation about

taken from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune located in Sarasota, Florida. The author of the

article stated direct quotes from the speakers present at the Nixon Impeachment March in

Washington, D.C. after Nixon's second inauguration in 1973. The newspaper was

published on April 28th, 1974 with a description of and a quote from Dolores Huerta. She

is described as so short, she must stand on the tip of her toes to reach the microphone.
 Huerta spoke and encouraged people to boycott "Tricky Dick," also another name for

Richard Nixon. The newspaper was intended for the residents in Sarasota, Florida to give

updates on marches against the president, Richard Nixon. This article about Huerta at the

Nixon Impeachment March compares to the newspaper article about the issue of Mexican

"green card" holders. It pinpoints on a single issue which Huerta was directly involved in.

Huerta, in her speech, says to "boycott" Richard Nixon which is lyrically genius because

during most of the activist life, she boycotted several items to get what the United Farm

Workers wanted.

Huerta Calls Herself ‘a Born-Again Feminist’," interviews Dolores Huerta about how she

is continuing to impact the human rights for workers and children. The interviewer, Ray

Saurez, is an American broadcast journalist and the current John J. McCloy Visiting
 Professor of American Studies at Amherst College. When he interviews and questions

Dolores about how she got started as an activist, Suarez has clearly done his homework

on Huerta's life. Suarez's intended audience is the PBS audience of students, teachers,

educators and anyone who wants to learn about Huerta's beginnings. In the interview,

Huerta says her gender, as a woman, when she negotiated with men from the large

conglomerates and companies would be caught off-guard because she was a woman. She

said they would be embarrassed as if it was their mother telling them they did something

wrong. The interview is similar to the "Dolores Huerta Papers" because it gives Huerta's

personal opinions on topics, issues, and discussions. This source highlights Dolores

Huerta as a strong and resilient activist because it is a primary source of Huerta speaking

for herself on what she believes.

record of all the boycotts which occurred from 1962 to 1992. It contains all and every

boycott to occur in Florida which happens to also be the time of which Dolores Huerta

and Cesar Chavez were working together. The duo founded the National Farmers

Workers Association after a previous organization they were in did not focus on the

farmers outside of urban areas. Chavez became the dynamic speaker and the face of the

organization while Huerta was the skilled organizer and amazing negotiator. The

intended audience for the record of boycotts would be anyone who wished to find what

boycotts the United Farm Workers were part of from 1962 to 1992. The record of all the

boycotts in Florida from 1962 to 1992 is important to research because between these

years, Dolores was highly active in all activities and she was the one who would organize

almost everything.

2018. The court case ​Hernandez v. Texas ​is about a man, Pete Hernandez, which

murdered another man by the name of Joe Espinosa and was convicted and sentenced to

life imprisonment, but Hernandez appealed. The reasoning was that persons of Mexican

descent were systematically excluded from the jury. A law arose in Texas which

followed suit in other states such as California. The court case serves as a source because

it is related indirectly to Dolores Huerta. This court case was one of the many beginnings

for the movement for ethnic equality. Dolores Huerta was 24 years old when the ruling

was decided in Hernandez’s favor. It helped to end racial discrimination in the judicial
 system and further provides equal protection of the laws for all Americans and it

prohibits racial discrimination in jury selection since states could no longer exclude

citizens from jury service based on their race or ethnicity. Huerta was growing in a

country where the minorities were starting to fight for equality. The court case

exemplifies Huerta because she now is one of the larger names in the fight for equality.

a bill which would give the legal immigrants, of children who had fought in the war, their

old age pensions. When she went to the assemblyman, he said she would have his vote if

she would come to his hotel room that night as he threw the hotel key at her. The sexual

harassment was so prevalent that you just expected it to happen. Dolores Huerta would

have to figure out ways to get out of the office she worked in safely without the boss

trying to make a pass at her. Men knew they could get away with the sexual harassment if

they even knew how disgusting they were being, but women suffered in the workplace

because of the lenience men had on men. Dolores would experience the sexual

harassment for years as she worked as a secretary and also as an activist.

difficult because there was racism and sexism everywhere that it was literally impossible

to walk the streets without fearing for your life. If you were a man of color, it wasn't as

Dolores Huerta is outspoken on all topics including people having a voice. Especially

because she is a Chicano woman who has lived through the times of civil rights and when

people were pushed down because they were different. Huerta is also an advocate for

women in general because she had to have a man as the face of the Farmworkers

movement when she was mostly the brain.

decades, she still believes strongly in women's rights and equality across all races and

ethnicities.

Accessed 21 Nov. 2018. This source helps to explain how Dolores Huerta was pushed

under and overlooked as Cesar Chavez was given the fame because she was a woman.

However, Huerta was every part of his equal and gender inequality led to her

underappreciation as one of the leaders of the United Farm Workers Movement. In terms

of history, Huerta is one of the most impactful civil rights leaders in the United States.

This tragedy is finally getting uncovered as she can finally relish in recognition that she

also was as impactful as Cesar or Martin Luther King Jr. because it is not common to

study women who fought for equal rights in school despite women having done so much.
 Huerta is a wonderful example of this as she raised eleven children while also leading a

revolution and she didn't take days off. As Huerta continued to fight for equal rights,

which many of us can enjoy today, she is not widely known despite the improvements

and betterment she brought for countless Americans.

Stacey Sowards. ​Rhetorical Agency as Haciendo Caras and Differential Consciousness through

Lens of Gender, Race, Ethnicity, and Class: An Examination of Dolores Huerta's

 Rhetoric.​ 2nd ed., e-book, International Communication Association, 2010. The

examination of Huerta's rhetoric is written based off of Dolores Huerta's techniques of

negotiation throughout her career as an activist. The author, Stacey Sowards, is highly

decorated and qualified as a communication theory expert. She has been at Kansas

University for 15 years and specializes in rhetorical theory and criticism, feminist

theories of communication, environmental communication and rhetoric, and intercultural

communication and rhetoric. Especially in Latin America. Her intended audience would

be English majors, graduates, and people who are researching negotiation, Dolores

Huerta, or both. In Sowards' examination and analysis, Huerta uses a variety of tactics in

her negotiations. As an activist, negotiation skills are vital to the work they do. Huerta

embodies the "collaborative agency through rhetorical styles of emotionality,

familia [family], egalitarianism, and optimism, using factors from social and material

dispositions relating to ethnicity, gender, and class..." which shapes her rhetorical agency.

When Huerta negotiates, she uses optimism to reassure people's anxieties, resistance in

issues needing to be addressed, and transformation of policies and events which encroach

on human rights. These qualities in Dolores Huerta are one of the reasons she was able to

achieve triumph in her life.
