An Unlikely Activist Achieves a Measure of Justice in Guatemala
Helen Mack Chang, one of Guatemala's most vocal advocates for justice, has the distinction of facing down the country's military and ultimately bringing a measure of justice and reconciliation to her family and the thousands of others who perished during country's 36-year civil war.
The Helen Kellogg Institute for International Studies created the Notre Dame Prize for Distinguished Public Service in Latin America to recognize the efforts of visionary leaders, civic activists, intellectuals and public servants to enhance the region's welfare.
Established in 1999 and first awarded in 2000, the Notre Dame Prize is funded by a grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation and administered by the Kellogg Institute at the University of Notre Dame.
