Labor leader Dolores Huerta dies at 96

Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers union, died at her home on Wednesday at age 96, according to her family, which said she had cancer. Huerta worked with César Chávez to organize farm workers from the early 1960s and was long a vice-president of the union. She coined the slogan "Sí, se puede!" and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Earlier this year she publicly said Chávez had sexually abused her in the 1960s, an account reported by several outlets. Her family has asked for privacy and says arrangements to honor her life will be announced later.
