Well over 70 people — a group made up of local leaders, members of the media and neighborhood residents alike — braved the projected triple-digit forecast Monday morning to get a glimpse of American icon Dolores Huerta at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new city park named after her.
Cameras and phones swarmed around the 95-year-old Huerta as she slowly walked toward the podium. When she finally spoke at Monday morning’s ceremony, she revealed she was unfazed by the heat that day.
