(Ed.'s Note: It was an all-woman show Monday at the Symposyum featuring Dolores Huerta, who organized field workers alongside Cesar Chavez with the Farmworkers Union and gave them the power to hold collective bargaining rights with agribusinesses in California, and then the rest of the country.
The event – which included one panel at 11:15 a.m. addressing La Union del Pueblo Entero (LUPE) – an organization that provides a wide range of services to the people of the Lower Rio Grande Valley area, primarily field workers and their families. The event was held at the Texas Southmost Fine Arts Center.
Another all-woman panel after lunch, from 1:45 to 2:45 p.m., addressed "Cosecha Voices", – migrant farmworker activism through storytelling. Huerta addressed the audience at 4 p.m. and recounted the farmworker struggle in the grape fields of California. Later, she made an appearance at the Brownsville Fine Arts Museum where she is featured in an exhibit called "Revolution in the Fields.")
