Civil rights activist Dolores Huerta, who coined ‘Yes, We Can’ slogan, dies at 96

Dolores Huerta, one of the best-known Latina civil rights activists in US, has died at the age of 96. She co-founded United Farm Workers (UFW) with Cesar Chavez, establishing the first nationally recognised union for farm workers. Huerta gave the union its slogan, “Sí, se puede,” meaning “Yes, we can,” which Barack Obama later used during his 2008 presidential campaign.
