Cesar Chavez honors canceled and renamed after abuse allegations

Events and official honors named for labor leader Cesar Chavez are being canceled or renamed following new allegations of sexual abuse. This includes the cancellation of commemorative events and a move by California to rename Cesar Chavez Day.

Dolores Huerta, a fellow labor leader, issued a statement on the allegations, which have caused significant fallout within the California labor movement. The reports have prompted a re-examination of Chavez's legacy, which includes his role in sparking a farmworker uprising in Texas.
