Dolores Huerta, described as an influential labor activist and civil rights icon, has died at the age of 96. The information available confirms her death and age but does not provide further details about when or where she died.
Huerta’s public significance is reflected in her identification as both a labor activist and a civil rights figure. No additional information was provided about her work, the organizations or campaigns with which she may have been associated, or the specific events that shaped her public life.
