Dolores Huerta's notable role included co-founding the National Farm Workers Association.

• A. Co-founded the National Farm Workers Association.
• B. Led the civil rights march on Washington.
• C. Drafted the Civil Rights Act.
• D. Organized labor unions in the auto industry.

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of Dolores Huerta’s leadership in the farm workers movement. Her notable contribution was co-founding the National Farm Workers Association in 1962 with Cesar Chavez, a group created to organize and empower farm workers in California to demand better wages, working conditions, and recognition of their rights. Huerta’s organizing, negotiations, and community advocacy helped mobilize workers and bring national attention to farm labor struggles, including campaigns like the Delano grape strike and boycotts that followed.

The other options point to actions not associated with Huerta: the Washington, D.C. civil rights march was led by Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders; the Civil Rights Act was a piece of federal legislation drafted and passed by lawmakers in Congress; and organizing unions in the auto industry refers to labor movements focused on automobile manufacturing workers, not farm workers.
