A good, unrated documentary recently released, telling the work and accomplishment story of Dolores Huerta as thus far.
This article was written by a film critic, Kenneth Turan, and follows the key points, scenes, and overall parts of the documentary that capture important/influential moments. Where the theme seems to be described as a quote by Delores Huerta, "You can't make change unless you're willing to give something up".
How is this related to U.S. History? Well, Delores Huerta is a civil rights activist and american labor leader in the fight for an equal union in farmers across America. And workers in general really who just want to be treated contently, and not be abused due to lack of citizenship. Her and Cesar Chavez led the Delano Grape Strike and founded the National Farm Workers Association to make most of that happen.
I feel like trying to make conditions better for people who just wanna work, in the face of persecution resembles the religions who came to the new world just to also make things better. In some way.
And no Delores Huerta and I are not related.
