Show Notes
Fresno County supervisors voted to rename their March 31st holiday, previously honoring Cesar Chavez, to Fresno County Farmworker and Agriculture Appreciation Day. This change comes amidst controversy surrounding Chavezs alleged sexual misconduct, with accusers including civil rights figure Dolores Huerta. The move aims to honor essential labor without associating it with the controversy. State leaders are also pushing for a similar shift, renaming the holiday to Farmworkers Day.
