Texas Governor Greg Abbott has decided to discontinue observing Cesar Chavez Day, following new sexual abuse allegations against the labor leader. The New York Times investigation revealed claims from multiple women, including labor activist Dolores Huerta, who accused Chavez of abuse. Several events honoring Chavez were already canceled, and Abbott plans to push lawmakers to remove the holiday from state law. This decision has sparked debate on how to remember figures with complex legacies in the fight for workers rights.
