Posted @withrepost • @ucsc.rca Announcing the Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas!
We’re so excited to share that our Research Center for the Americas, which for 30 years has conducted pioneering research on the experiences of Latinx people in the United States and on the various forces shaping Latin America, will be renamed in honor of labor activist Dolores Huerta. Naming the center for Huerta will inspire students and faculty at the RCA and beyond to continue pushing for positive social change around the most pressing issues facing Latinx communities today.
The renaming, as the Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas, will become official Oct. 20 during an on-campus event commemorating the RCA’s 30th anniversary where Huerta will be presented as the distinguished honoree, and DACA and immigrant-rights activist advocate Cristina Jiménez will be the keynote speaker. Join us for the event!
Get tickets at our link in bio. Proceeds will benefit the center in advancing its programs.
With this new naming, UCSC is also working with Huerta and the Dolores Huerta Foundation to build a meaningful and lasting partnership with the first proposed collaboration being a multi-year endeavor to continue the initial work already started by Huerta and DHF to establish Huerta’s archives for public access.
