@washingtonpost: Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm Workers union to improve working conditions in the nation’s fruit and vegetable fields, has died of cancer. She was 96. Huerta’s resolve cemented her place in history as one of the nation’s most influential labor leaders, civil rights icons and feminist activists. Her three-word Spanish-language slogan, “Sí, se puede!” — which translates to “Yes, it can be done” — was grounded in the belief that people who take action can affect change.
