Show Notes
New York Times uncovers allegations of sexual abuse against Cesar Chavez, a civil rights icon, by several women and underage girls in the 1970s. Victims, including Dolores Huerta, stayed silent for decades due to shame and loyalty to the movement. The United Farm Workers union will skip Chavezs birthday celebrations, and plans to name a street after him in Bakersfield have sparked outrage. The focus shifts to supporting survivors and rethinking hero worship in Latino history.
