Show Notes
Recent allegations of abuse against civil rights leader Cesar Chavez have led to a reevaluation of his legacy. The United Farm Workers union, which he co-founded, has canceled commemorative events and faced calls to rename a road and remove a statue honoring him. Dolores Huerta, Chavezs co-founder, revealed he fathered two children with her through non-consensual acts. The union is also suing the federal government over wage cuts for guest farmworkers. Despite these revelations, farmworkers continue to support the union and its fight for their rights.
