Dolores Huerta was a key advisor to civil rights activist Cesar Chavez. She is co-founder of United Farm Workers of America and is one of the most successful and respected civil rights and labor movement leaders of the 20th and 21st centuries. She will address the Central Ohio community December 8 at an event organized by the Columbus Council on World Affairs (CCWA) and International Institute for Democracy on the topic “Immigration Challenges: A Human Rights Perspective” and later in the evening will talk on “2006 Mexican Presidential Elections and its Impact on the U.S.”
As a top civil rights leader, Dolores Huerta was invited by CCWA to provide a human rights perspective on international immigration issues that directly affect the U.S. Her political expertise will fuel a discussion later in the day to address how the 2006 Mexican Presidential elections will impact U.S.–Mexico relations.
The public is invited to attend the two events and can contact Diana Pagan to RSVP at 614-229-4599, ext. 401. Prices are set up differently for lunch and evening events.
Huerta will be speaking at two venues: 1) “Challenges of Immigration: A Human Rights Perspective,” 11:30 – 1:15 pm at The Athletic Club of Columbus, 136 East Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215 ($5 lecture only, $30 with lunch, $15 educator/student); and 2) “2006 Mexican Presidential Elections and Its Impact on the U.S.,” 7:00 – 8:30 pm at the King Arts Complex, Mount Vernon Avenue, Columbus, OH 43203 ($15). Reservations are required by contacting Diana Pagán at dpagan@columbusworldaffairs.org or (614) 229-4599 on or before Monday, December 5.
Please note, members of the press who are covering the event will not be asked to pay for admission. However, those wishing to eat lunch should expect to cover this cost. Please advise CCWA in advance if you plan to attend. This will allow us to adjust seating arrangements to accommodate cameras and to make special arrangements for a short press conference following the event.
