Show Notes
In Delano, California, the birthplace of the farmworkers movement, allegations of sexual abuse against Cesar Chavez have led to a renaming of Cesar E. Chavez High School and a debate over Cesar Chavez Park. The New York Times report claims Chavez abused young girls in the seventies and raped ally Dolores Huerta in the sixties. The community is divided, with some wanting his legacy removed and others questioning the timing of the accusations. The conversation shifts towards honoring all leaders of the movement, including Filipino organizer Larry Itliong, who played a significant role in the UFWs formation.
