Dolores Huerta Papers 1970-1995 Dolores Huerta Papers 1970-1995 32 linear feet (32 SB) Accession #1861 The Dolores Huerta Collection was deposited into the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in installments from 1978 to 2000. Dolores was born Dolores Clara Fernandez on April 10, 1930 in the mining town of Dawson, in northern New Mexico. Dolores Huerta has been championing the rights of farm workers and Latinos. “It’s in my blood,” she has often said. Indeed, her father, Juan Fernandez was a miner, field worker and union activist. And her mother, Alicia Chavez, was a community activist in Stockton, California. Dolores learned as a child from the activist community that nurtured her that action causes change. As a college student in the 1950s, Huerta spent more time attending political rallies than focusing on her studies. As a young teacher her experiences in classrooms filled with hungry children of migrant farm workers led her to believe that an even greater need was organizing farm workers. After this brief teaching stint her life’s course was set. Huerta remembered her teaching experience this way, “I know this sounds weak, but the job was just too much for me. I couldn’t stand seeing the children coming to school barefoot, so hungry, so poor.” Dolores first met Cesar Chavez in the late 1950s while organizing farm workers under the name of the Agricultural Workers Association. In 1962 Huerta and Chavez founded the National Farm Workers Association in Delano, California, and by 1965 membership had risen to 1200 member families, mostly Latino. During the next ten years Huerta directed the grape, lettuce, and Gallo wine boycotts which led to the enactment of the first state legislation protecting farm workers right to organize. This California law was called the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act (CALRA) and was passed in 1975. La Causa (the farm workers’ cause) came first, even during pregnancies. Huerta was often seen nursing babies during breaks in contract negotiations and organizing meetings. Her eleven children admit that there were a lot of sacrifices along the way. While Dolores was organizing farm workers, her children would stay with friends and relatives, and in many instances lived on donated food and clothing. For her efforts and struggles during those years Huerta was earning between $5 and $35 a week. In 2002, Huerta founded the Dolores Huerta Foundation—a community self-help based organization designed to educate individuals who live in poor and working class areas. She is currently serving as president and continues to dedicate most of her time community organizing in under-represented areas in California. Today, Dolores Huerta continues to place La Causa first. She remains a boundlessly energetic and charismatic leader for the United Farm Workers union as an executive board member, union negotiator and lecturer. In addition, Huerta has been honored with numerous awards across the country for her work as an advocate for the rights of women, immigrants and people of color.

  • Through the Eyes of a Bracero
    Through The Eyes of A Bracero A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the History Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts by Karina Flores June, 2010 © 2010 Karina Flores I. INTRODUCTION “Dicen por allí” or the word around town was that “el Norte” was in search of men to harvest the fertile lands of California. Jose Carmen Flores did not fully understand what it meant to travel to the United States as a contracted labor worker. The few things he did know was that “prometieron un sueldo reasonable” or a reasonable salary was promised and he would be away from home for no more than 3 to 4 months at a time. He registered as a bracero and quickly left behind his young wife and his not yet born first baby, Eufemio. He made the journey to “el Norte” in the company of other wishful men who believed that their prayers to “la Virgen Maria” were being answered. Finally reaching “el Norte” brought tears to his eyes, “al fin llegue al pais de la esperanza,” meaning he arrived to the hopeful country. After migrating for several years between “el Norte” and Mexico, Jose Carmen’s hopes and dreams were shattered. “El sueldo reasonable” no longer held up to be true, and he was not paid for several of the jobs he conducted day in and day out. Braceros were like-minded in that they brought with them a limited understanding as well as unreliable images of life in the United States.
