Dolores Huerta Speaking at a Rally

An articulate and energetic speaker, Huerta led the union’s public relations effort, conveying the movement’s values and aims to the larger public in print, radio, and television. She bolstered the morale of workers on the picket line with her cry to arms, “¡Sí se puede!”
