NC State to Screen Dolores Huerta Documentary for Women’s Herstory Month

Dolores Huerta is among the most important yet least known activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Huerta tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century – and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change. Directed by Peter Bratt.

Join us on Monday, March 26, 2018 in Witherspoon Cinema at 7:00 p.m. (Doors open at 6:30 p.m.) The screening is sponsored by NCSU Libraries with Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF), UNC-TV, and Multicultural Student Affairs.
