— Left to right, Maria
Zamora, Librado "Lee" Chávez
and Tony Mayorga. Lee Chávez
holds up a hand-crafted United Farm Workers of America flag
signed by his late brother. The flag is part of Ms. Zamora's
collection of
Chávez/UFWA
memorabilia which she displayed at the 2004 Chávez
Celebration. Ms. Zamora marched with César
Chávez
in the 1960's and cooked for the multitudes as they trekked
across California. She traveled from California to attend
the 2014 event and has been our guest several times since.
She
weaved wonderful stories for the audience in her Hall of Fame
address. As
always,
the Chávez
family was well represented by
Reno resident Ramon Chávez
and his family. Tony
Mayorga served many years as director of training and President
of Laborers' Union Local 169, a founding sponsor of the
celebration. [Librado
Chávez
and a dozen family members attended the 2008-2011 events until
Mrs. Chávez's illness kept them home. She attended
once mor before she passed away.
Lee and Tony are now gone. Tony was inducted to the César
Chávez Nevada Labor Hall of Fame by fellow honoree
Sen. Joe Neal on March 31, 2018. He thus became only the second
posthumous recipient. Adios, hermano.] |
