Dolores Huerta's F-bomb

What a thrill to listen to this icon at a YWCA breakfast, introduced as "the original wise Latina." How moving and humble of her to share her congressional medal of honor with everyone in audience, as if we shared in those struggles and accomplishments with her.
In addition to her advice on the coming elections, she wanted to remind us about the f word:
Feminist
Viva Dolores Huerta! Viva!

    I remember seeing her poster for the United Farm Workers. She's beautiful

    Surely she wasn't the first wise Latina ever! But she is original, and wise.

    First wise Latina ballot:
    Malinche
    Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
    Frida Kahlo

    Dolores Huerta was an articulate speaker, I found her very moving-it was a lovely am.
