The text was transcribed from the original speech transcript written and researched by Anna Padia, Coalition for Labor Union Women’s Vice-President and The Newspaper Guild Human Rights Coordinator.

The speech text was retrieved from the Dolores Huerta Papers Collection, Box 14, Folder 14. Identifier: LP001861, Walter P. Reuther Library, Wayne State University located in Detroit, MI. (=A)

This copy-text was published with the authorization of Wayne State University Archives and has been thoroughly checked and proofread.

Although the document was archived as a speech in Huerta’s collection, no evidence has been found to confirm that she delivered the speech at the conference. No alternative versions of the speech, in video, audio, or text have been found.

This copy-text was recovered and transcribed according to the original text. We have retained the original document’s paragraph structure and paragraph numbers were added in brackets. One typographical error was changed. The number corresponds to the paragraph where the correction was made:

[25] “extablishment” became “establishment”

Double hyphens (–) became em dashes (—). In paragraphs 9, 12, 19, and 23, hyphens were used, but have been corrected to em dashes for clarity and ease of reading. In paragraph 26, the period was placed inside the quotation mark. Other than these instances, headings, punctuation and grammar have been preserved from the original speech text.
