美国各地的议员、活动人士和工会领袖纷纷悼念联合农场工人工会联合创始人。在得知多洛雷斯·韦尔塔于周三去世、享年96岁的消息后,活动人士、议员和民权领袖纷纷致敬韦尔塔长久而深远的遗产。韦尔塔是民权偶像,她让“Sí, se puede!”(是的,我们能做到!)这句集会口号广为流传。
Lawmakers, activists and union leaders across the US remember the co-founder of United Farm Workers union Following the news that Dolores Huerta – the civil rights icon who popularized the rallying cry “Sí, se puede! – had died at the age of 96 on Wednesday, activists, lawmakers and civil rights leaders paid tribute to Hureta’s long and lasting legacy.
在加利福尼亚州——韦尔塔曾在此帮助创立联合农场工人工会(UFW)——她的去世令人深感悲痛。正是在加州中央谷地,她为联合农场工人工会奠定了基础,并帮助组织了1965年德拉诺葡萄罢工——一场全国性的鲜食葡萄抵制运动,最终为葡萄采摘工人争取到了更好的工资和工作条件。加州有几所学校以她的名字命名,全州各地的壁画也描绘了她的形象。2018年,加州宣布将4月10日——她的生日——定为多洛雷斯·韦尔塔日。
In California – where Huerta helped found the United Farm Workers (UFW) union – her death was deeply felt. It was in California’s central valley that she laid the foundations for the United Farm Workers, and helped organize the 1965 Delano grape strike – a national boycott of table grapes that resulted in better wages and working conditions for grape pickers. Several schools in California bear her name, and murals across the state depict her likeness. And in 2018, California declared 10 April – her birthday – Dolores Huerta Day.
