I am excited to have this Panel Talk and Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service here at the Gilroy Library. As a kid growing up I learned about the important impacts that Dolores Huerta had and continues to shape. The public library system was my after school program too. I am proud to have worked with our Assembly Member Robert Rivas and the Gilroy Library so the community has a chance to meet Dolores and listen to a panel discussion yesterday. This all started as a vision from Gilroy Librarian Elizabeth Muñoz-Rosas. #HiltonForCouncil #Gilroy #DowntownGilroy Dolores Huerta Dolores Huerta Foundation

This was a moment that all of us will remember and talk about forever. The panel talk was more than listening to their stories, it was a motivational talk from icons in the civil rights movement and a call to action.

“Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields” shares the compelling story of activist and leader Dolores Huerta and the farm worker movement of the 1960s and 70s. This exhibition, which includes text in both English and Spanish, will feature reproduced historic and personal photographs that detail Huerta’s life from her early influences through the UFW’s grape boycotts and landmark agreements with grape-growing conglomerates. This exhibition was organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C.

The Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields/Revolución en los Campos exhibit will be on display at the Gilroy Library. The exhibition will be available in the Community Room on the second floor at the Gilroy Library from Saturday, November 5, 2022 to Monday, January 23, 2023.

It is wonderful to be in Gilroy today to join with friends in celebration of Dolores Huerta!

The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service has brought an exhibit, Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields/Revolución en los Campos, that will be open to the public until January at the Gilroy Library.

Thank you to everyone that organized today’s event featuring a panel discussion with Dolores, another incredible champion for our community, Luis Valdez, and author and educator, Francisco Jimenez.

When talking about a career out of this world, Charles Bolden should be in the conversation.

He was the first-appointed Black Administrator of NASA and has flown on four space shuttle missions logging more than 680 hours in outer space.

Bolden is just one of the two dozen pioneers highlighted in our outdoor exhibition from Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
