Show Notes
Recent sexual assault allegations against Cesar Chavez, co-founder of the United Farm Workers union, have led to a reevaluation of artwork honoring his role in the farmworker movement. Dolores Huerta, his co-founder, accused him of rape, and a New York Times investigation uncovered assaults on young women during his leadership. Artist Carlos Lopez, who painted Chavezs image, now believes those works should be removed from public and private spaces, as he grapples with the emotional impact of these revelations.
