Let us think back to when we were young boys and girls. We get reminded of the desire to grow up and become someone important. Growing up we always had that special person who was always there for us, supporting us in everything we did. Little girls had big dreams of being super stars and being on television for everyone to see us. Little boys also had dreams of becoming doctors or engineers. Many people dream of doing something important for the rest of their life, but unfortunately not many are able to achieve their goal. There is always exceptions to this, and there was one person who achieved her goal, not caring what people said.

In 1969, Dolores Huerta reached a stumbling block in which she questioned, “How do I stop eleven million people from buying the grape?” (Huerta) The essence of Huerta’s question is that she needed to develop a different strategy that would prevent growers from gaining profits from their grape sales. Two years into the grape boycott, farmworkers from Delano, California had gained the support for equal civil rights from political figures and consumers throughout the United States. Americans from all walks of life were able to sympathize with the farmworkers who sought better working conditions, increased wages, and for their union to be recognized by growers. These were the basic human rights which were given to all Americans except farmworkers.
