it's up to the executive board
to decide who they want, you know.
- Certainly a hope
in some parts of people
that when Cesar dies, Dolores will take over,
since he was there from the beginning.
- You can imagine it.
Farmers' union run by a woman?
That will be history.
- But he was not elected.
- He called me to tell me, after Cesar passed,
that he won't succeed Cesar as president,
and I, like, are very upset.
And then, you know, he said to me really calm,
like, super calm,
but I know someone was hurt in his voice,
he said, "Barbara, it will be a fight,
one battle after another, if I fight for this."
- The workers want it, the volunteers want it,
you know, membership wants it,
but it's not about him.
It's about survival of unions.
And he recommends to others,
Arturo Rodriguez, to become president,
who is left union president,
You know, to this day.

There must be some people mourn,
but knowing Dolores,
there must also be already a few...
Moments "Sí, se puede" too.
"I will do it something important,
despite this."
- Then he understands Puffin / Nation award,
which is $ 100,000 to do whatever he wants to do.
There is no rope installed at all.
- He can save that money
to have a comfortable life for himself,
but Dolores never has been interested
a comfortable life for himself.
- After feeling bad must leave the union,
I think for myself, "I will use that money
to start doing community organizing."
My friend, please stand up.
- That's when Dolores announced
that he founded the Dolores Huerta Foundation.
all: Escucha!
Estamos en la lucha!
- We will start with Organizing 101.
- He really went to the grassroots,
someone else's house, home meeting,
see what people problems are,
help give them support,
so that they become vocal, and train people
to become community organizer.
- In the long run,
I think it benefits him sense of freedom,
freedom to touch every problem:
feminism, environment,
our people's politics, Latinos.
He makes everything connected.
- We will not stop until we get full legalization.
all: Sí, se puede!
Sí, sí, se puede!
Sí, se puede!
- Viva la mujer! all: Viva!
- Viva la Raza! all: Viva!
- We can make changes, but it must begin with us.
- And now, in Tucson, Arizona, 800 students
hear labor activist Dolores Huerta says this:
- Dolores will come to the city regularly
to talk with our youth.
But the only thing that comes from that is that sentence:
"Republicans hate Latin."
The blowback is quite intense.
- Dolores Huerta,
tell our children republicans hate Latinos.
- I think it's hate speech.
- Texas State Education Board
uh, reject you, uh,
being part of the social studying the curriculum.
- The reason is that people oppose Dolores Huerta...
- Right.
- He was quoted saying a few other things
it's rather negative.
- Horne said Huerta should not be allowed to address
any public schools assemblies in Arizona.
- He is testifying on behalf of the bill
which will prohibit ethnic learning in public schools.
- Ethnic studies brought to my attention
when a woman is named Dolores Huerta
give a speech at Tucson high school.
She is a former girlfriend of Cesar Chavez.
- If we go to full circle how is the country politician
and then on Fox News
will refer to it as the Cesar sidekick,
or in the case of Horne,
actually says his girlfriend,
that is a perfect example why we need ethnic studies,
because we have people in power at the policy level
who do not know the truth heroes of this country.
- I have to tell you, I never heard about this woman before.
- He's big in Arizona.
I don't know him.
- I mean, our knees are knee-high in sexism.
Like, City Center Sexism City,
when it comes to how strong he is,
You know, and how-- and why he doesn't study
and why people don't know him.
- That's really important to recognize
how far Dolores seen
as a subsidiary.
And Cesar Chavez,
I have all respect and respect
in the world for him.
But the assumption is,
he is the leader,
and Dolores are housekeepers
of movement.
- I mean, if you see written books,
You never see Dolores Huerta referred to as co-founder.
- He was there in the beginning.
He is there as a woman,
represent half of the workforce
in the field.
I think this is very important that people admit
that it is men and women working together.
- We tried to impress him it was important.
Latina girls need to see your statues,
and they must have you in their history books.
Like, we really have to set the record straight.
I mean, women can't be written from history.
- This is about all generations Chicanas young, colored young women,
who are currently involved in their own struggle,
and need be taught by example.
- We will never change
if people keep their place and keep quiet,
especially women, especially Latinos.
So, my mother, the story will be told,
and that's our job to make it happen.
- His opinion changes now,
but it's constant fighting for him.
- We are women, we are very used to be an accommodator.
We want to try to please people.
We must learn to think about ourselves.
And what do they say?
As a woman, you only think of yourself,
What are you then? Selfish, right?
If a woman is firm,
they use the B-word, right?
I think I always feel is wrong
for me to try to take credit for the work I do.
I don't think like that anymore.
We must be able to say to our ideas,
and then - I will quote Gloria Steinem at this--
"Put the lights around it," right?
Beat the drum.
You know, write it down.
Put your name there to make sure
that you get credit for ideas that you have.
all: Sí, se puede! - Sí, se puede!
all: Sí, se puede!
- For Cesar,
"Sí, se puede" is not just a slogan.
- When people in Arizona say-- they told me,
"No, Dolores, no puede.
You can't do this in Arizona, only in California, "
My response to them is, " Sí, se puede. "
all: Sí, se puede! Sí, se puede!
- His is a call
that later comes to define
presidential campaign candidate Barack Obama.
- Yes we can.
- You have heard President Obama say,
" Yes we can "?
It comes from Cesar Chavez: Sí, se puede.
- Dolores Huerta appears with the slogan,
" Sí, se puede, "
and we all consider it to Cesar Chavez,
even Barack Obama.
Of course, when he gives it
Presidential Medal of Freedom,
he must improve himself.
- On a personal note, Dolores is very generous when I told him I had stolen the catchphrase,
"Sí, se puede," yes we can.
Uh, know him,
I am glad that he let me go easily,
Because Dolores doesn't play.

custom deletion, black,
and other memories in our history,
this is really about who struggle for memory

- Can I choose,
I might have done it being a dancer.
I like to dance very much, and music is very much,
but I found out if I like people
better than I dance or music.

his passion to become a dancer,
he is a dancer on the stage of justice.
