Monthly Character Theme: Ambition
Quote of the Week: Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme and to be sublimely great or to be nothing.” Robert Southey
Announcements:
At 90 years old, Dolores Huerta still stands as a giant in the fight for Hispanic American labor rights. Born in 1930, the New Mexico native of Mexican descent grew up in a farm worker community in Stockton, California, with her mom and two brothers. She briefly worked as an elementary school teacher after attending college before setting off on the path of civil rights activism. She joined the Community Service Organization, where she later met fellow activist Chavez. She co-founded the Agricultural Workers Association in 1960 and collaborated with Chavez to found the National Farm Workers Association in 1962. Her activism continued in California, where she made a name for herself by supporting and leading various strikes for workers’ rights.
