New report accuses Cesar Chavez of sexual abuse amid legacy scrutiny
A New York Times investigation cites Dolores Huerta and two other women alleging Cesar Chavez sexually abused girls associated with the farmworkers movement in the 1970s. Chavez’s family says they are devastated, the United Farm Workers canceled Chavez Day events, and officials discuss renaming the holiday and pursuing accountability, while the Chavez Foundation says it will respond and support potential victims.
