California lawmakers propose renaming Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day, following sexual abuse allegations against Chavez. The change aims to honor farmworkers broadly, not just Chavez personally. The move comes after a New York Times investigation revealed claims of sexual assault by Chavez, including against Dolores Huerta. Huerta, now nearly ninety-six, spoke out after sixty years of silence. Chavezs family expresses shock, while Governor Newsom is open to the rename. Communities reevaluate Chavez-named sites amidst these revelations.
