Maria Hinojosa interviews Dolores Huerta

Legendary activist Dolores Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers of America with César Chávez. She organized the infamous grape boycotts of the 1960s and '70s. A committed feminist at age 80, she spent two years traveling the country, urging Latinas to run for office. She has received nine honorary doctorates, been arrested twenty times, and raised eleven children. She tells María Hinojosa what has driven her unwavering activism for the past forty years.
