Helena Moreno is perhaps best known as a member of the New Orleans City Council, but she lived many lives before her political career. Moreno’s family emigrated from Mexico to Houston when she was a child, and she struggled against a language barrier to become a broadcast journalist. The Historic New Orleans Collection interviewed Moreno for their first-person narrative series, NOLA Life Stories.
