Opinion: My View Dolores Huerta: An unstoppable force
The passing of Dolores Huerta at 96 marks more than the end of an extraordinary life; it closes a defining chapter in the American story.

Behind them, in the White House’s Oval Office, hung a perfectly placed portrait of Abraham Lincoln, reminding us that the “agreement” was signed under the disciplinarian eye of the U.S., both past and present.
Colonization, Food, and the Practice of Eating
The violence that accompanied the European colonization of the Indigenous people of Mesoamerica is a well-known fact. Historians have elaborated on the devastating effects such colonization had on Indigenous societies, cultures, and mortality. While the study of the conquest has generally focused on the social, political, and economic changes forced upon Indigenous populations, the matter of food—the very source of survival—is rarely considered.
