About the event
Helena (January 21, 1928 - June 6, 2016) was married to Cesar Chavez, a mother of 8, and matriarch of the successful farmworkers' movement. Those closest to Helen say with confidence, if there was no Helen there would ha no Cesar and no farmworker movement. It was she, Cesar, and their 8 children who began the movement in Delano, California. Join us as we look back on her legacy and help support the work that MNC does to honor that legacy by shaping the community around us.
