Dolores Huerta is a Mexican-American labor leader and activist, and is the founder of the United Farm Workers of America. Huerta played a crucial role in the organization of the Delano grape strike of 1965. She fought, and still fights, for workers' rights, immigrants' rights, and women's rights. Huerta has been awarded many accolades throughout her career in activism, and in 2012 received the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights. Perhaps most notably in the present-day Latinx community, she's known as the originator of the "Sí, se puede" chant, which means "Yes, it is possible." 8. Ruth Bader Ginsburg (b. 1933) has used her Supreme Court seat to change the course of history.
