Dolores Huerta gives passionate speech about Filipinos in CA

Legendary American labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta gives a passionate speech about the legacy of Filipinos in California during the inauguration ceremony of Rob Bonta, the first Filipino American elected to serve as Attorney General of California.
She, along with labor leaders Cesar Chavez and Fil-Ams Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz, organized the farming boycotts and strikes in California in the 1960s. Their actions, along with other Mexican and Filipino American farmers and their families, created the labor union United Farm Workers (UFW) and revolutionized labor practices in the nation. Bonta's parents were part of the UFW and they lived in a trailer in La Paz, home of the UFW headquarters.
Bonta was appointed as attorney general in 2020 by Governor Gavin Newsom. In the November 2022 elections, Bonta defeated his Republican opponent by nearly 2 million votes.
