Dolores Huerta will be the keynote speaker for our signature, public education event, the Raquel Rubio Goldsmith Lecture, organized annually by the Ethnic, Gender, Transborder Studies & Sociology (EGTSS) Department at Pima Community College. Dolores Huerta is a national civil rights icon and a recipient of many awards, including the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in recognition of her lifelong dedication to justice, equity, and empowerment. She is a co-founder of the United Farmworkers (UFW), the first union of farmworkers in the U.S., along with César Chávez. Huerta is widely known, highly respected and, arguably, the most important Mexican American figure living today for her lifetime commitment to civil rights and social justice as a labor organizer and feminist activist. This year's event will be combined with a fundraiser for student scholarships sponsored by the EGTSS Department. The combined lecture/fundraiser will be held at a luncheon on
