A New York Times investigation has revealed that legendary labor leader César Chavez sexually abused women and girls over decades, including UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta, triggering California Governor Newsom and state lawmakers to fast-track renaming César Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day. The fallout extends far beyond one holiday: more than 130 locations in 19 states bear his name, cities from Denver to San Antonio are scrubbing his legacy from streets and parks, and Latino civil rights organizations are confronting what may be the most sweeping reckoning with a founding figure in modern American history.
