Revolution in the Fields Virtual Tour

The Jones Art Gallery at Bakersfield College is hosting the Smithsonian museum's virtual tour entitled Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields/Revolución en los Campos. With generous sponsorship from the Finlinson Endowment at Bakersfield College, students are now able to tour virtually this impressive exhibit created by the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.

According to the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) website, the exhibit "shares the compelling story of legendary activist Dolores Huerta (b.1930) and the farm workers movement of the 1960s and 70s. It is a quintessentially American tale of struggle and sacrifice, of courage and victory. The exhibition explores Huerta's public life as an activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW), and what led her to become a Latina civil rights icon."

You can access the virtual tour at the Bakersfield College Jones Art Gallery website here. Or you can visit the virtual tour directly here.
