Community members express deep pain, with a Portland State University professor highlighting the national hurt felt by Mexican Americans and praising Huertas bravery. The boulevard, named in 2006, is now under scrutiny as Chavezs national recognition day approaches. Local organizers and the Oregon Farmworker Union express devastation, pledge support for survivors, and decide to skip celebrations while determining their next steps.
