The Memorial Garden offers a quiet place to reflect on the legacy of Cesar Chavez, and a place to pay respects to him and his wife, Helen, at their gravesites. Look for symbols of the farmworker movement that are incorporated into the Memorial Garden's design, including the fountain along the back wall that's dedicated to the five martyrs who gave their lives to support the cause.
15-60 Minutes
At the monument's visitor center, documentaries about the farmworker movement and Cesar Chavez's legacy bring life to the powerful stories of the struggle for justice and civil rights. The most commonly shown film is La Paz, which explains the choice to locate the union headquarters at the remote Keene site. Ask at the information desk to begin a showing.
