A Message to UMS Students from Dolores Huerta

I have spent a great deal of time the last two days with Dolores Huerta, the famed Civil Rights Leader, and her two daughters. I even rode back on the bus next to her the first night. She has amazing youth programs that she sponsors through her foundation http://www.doloreshuerta.org/. I am honored that she now knows me by name and called it a blessing that we met yesterday. I can hardly believe it. I look forward to visiting the work she does in the farming regions of Southern and Central California. She was kind enough to tape a message to my students. I hope you all will watch and enjoy...
