Dolores Huerta says hello. The Last March and funeral of Cesar Chavez | You can’t have my job, but I’ll tell you a story

Don’t involve editors until it’s too late for them to screw it up. Never again did I ask an editor if I should head out on a newsworthy story. I just did it, then when I got there, I’d call and let them know I was there. They would grumble a little, huff and puff, you know, “you should have told us first, but stay there and get the photos.” Bingo. And they don’t stay mad for too long. They probably forget all about it by the time they get to the next editors’ meeting
