Dolores Huerta Documentary Film Screens at VC, plus pottery and poetry!
This Friday, Ventura College screens the documentary, Dolores 11/17/17 at 6:00 pm in the Performing Arts Center located on Loma Vista Road in a free event open to the public.
According the the synopsis on the Dolores website, “Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century—and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change. Directed by Peter Bratt. ”
Also today Thursday Nov. 16 until 5pm is the final day of the student pottery exhibit and sale! Some great deals for yourself, for your holiday table, for hostess gifts, and more! Support student art!
