Dolores Huerta's notable contribution included co-founding which organization with Cesar Chavez?

• A. Co-founded the National Farm Workers Association.
• B. Led the March on Washington.
• C. Drafted the Civil Rights Act.
• D. Advocated for environmental protections.

Answer: (A)

Understanding the farm workers’ rights movement and the organizations created to lead it. Dolores Huerta, working closely with Cesar Chavez, helped organize workers and push for fair wages and safer conditions. Their collaboration led to the founding of the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, a group established to empower farm workers through collective bargaining and nonviolent action. This organization later became the United Farm Workers, expanding the movement and its reach. The other options don’t fit because the March on Washington was a civil rights action led by Martin Luther King Jr., the Civil Rights Act was a congressional bill, and environmental protections were not Huerta’s primary focus in organizing farm labor.
