Read the moving letter from Ethel Kennedy, widow of Sen. Robert F Kennedy, to be read at Saturday’s Delano Grape Strike event. Among those speaking will be their son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. His father joined Cesar Chavez and the grape strikers twice during the walkouts, including when when Cesar broke his 25-day fast for nonviolence at the very site of Saturday’s celebration. Then, Sen. Kennedy called Cesar “one of the heroic figures of our time.” #DelanoGrapeStrike
