Chicano Civil Rights movement, few are aware that he had a
female partner, Dolores Huerta. Together they
co-founded the United Farm Workers Association (UFWA)
in 1962 and directed several boycotts including, a

negotiated labor contracts with farmers and businessmen and
encouraged Congress to pass the Agricultural Labor
Relations Act in 1975, which protected the rights of
