Dolores Huerta “puts lights around” her experience as a Latina in the United States. Full movie link below.

Dolores Huerta fights her right to (re)write history and incorporate a voice missing in a gender-bias oppressive system. Her motto, Si Se Puede! Continues to be an inspiration to me and to many other  Latino/a/xs living in the United States.

The Role of Education

“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
