Reporter interviewed Dolores Huerta months before her death. Here's what she said

Civil rights icon Dolores Huerta died today. I'm Lizzie Kane, the food and ag reporter with the Sacramento Bee. When I moved to California in June, Huerta was someone in the agriculture community who I knew I had to meet. She was a key figure in the history of California and in U.S. history because of her lifetime of dedication to the farmworker movement. She helped build the United Farm Workers Union into a nationally recognized organization. Huerta and I spoke in August on a wide range of topics, including her thoughts on pesticide regulation and farm worker protections, as well as her views on what she called the dangers of pesticides and the very dangerous loss of agricultural land in California. What stood out to me about her in our first and what would be our last interview was that while most people at her age 96, and long retired, she was still in the fight. She was committed to her advocacy. she wasn't stopping, she told me at the conclusion of our interview quote I think these are all problems that we as intelligent human beings can solve but we know that to do that it means the solutions that we look for should not be profit driven, it should be driven more by filling the needs that we have not how much money can be made to read the full story and more of the interview with Huerta check out SACB.com
