'Papi Me and Cesar Chavez'
This is a landmark production chronicling the turbulence of the time. The 340- mile march from Delano to Sacramento drew national attention to the suffering of farm workers, and brought about the first actual union contract between a grower and farm workers’ union in US history. ------------------------------ Event Contact: Oswaldo Cantor can be reached at (303) 842-4581 Sponsored by the Associated Students of Colorado State University. |
