Imagine a world where the social and economic conditions for the farm workers and immigrants get worst year by year, where the discrimination among these people growth and never decline. What would happen to farm workers if Dolores Huerta shouldn’t have made any action to change their situation? This same question should be in the mind of many Americans who don’t appreciate all the effort and work that Huerta put in to change our nation.

Once upon a time there was a courageous women, named Maria Julia Hernandez, who I call my hero. Hernandez was born in San Francisco Morazán, Honduras in 1939.

Osagyefo Uhuru Sekou made on the demographic that the “majority of the black leadership” has tended to be.
