Now in her 90s, Dolores Huerta has spent most of her life as a political activist, fighting for better working conditions for farmworkers and women’s rights. Her role in the farmworkers’ movement has long been overshadowed by that of Cesar Chavez, her longtime collaborator and co-founder of what became the United Farm Workers of America union. Huerta also coined the movement’s famous slogan, “Sí Se Puede,” which inspired former President Barack Obama’s own campaign battle cry, "Yes, we can." She opens up to host Giselle Fernandez about being by former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s side the day he was assassinated and the importance of sharing her accomplishments with young women to open the doors for the next generation.
