SAGINAW-A member of the National Women's Hall of Fame will travel to
Michigan in the month of September who is looked upon as an icon to those
who know her story. She wasn't educated in a university, or reared from a rich family, but she helped bring the plight of the farm workers to the national conscience with Cesar E. Chavez nearly 50 years-ago. Her name is Dolores Huerta, a Mexican-American born in a mining town of Dawson, New Mexico. She came from humble beginnings-a child raised by her mother Alicia in Stockton, California after her parent's divorce when she was just three. Her mother's independent entrepreneurial spirit shaped her daughter's total involvement
as a high school student and beyond.
