Civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, who died at 96, spent decades fighting for farmworkers’ rights.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, she spoke with CGTN America’s Americas Now about the dangerous conditions facing agricultural workers in California.

Huerta criticized the lack of protection for workers who risked their lives to keep food on America’s tables and called for hazard pay, greater recognition and better working conditions.
