I feel like this is entering the part where we find out a lot of significant figures particularly in the latter half of the 20th century were actually reprehensible people in private. Despite wholesome curated public personas .
Though I feel like there’s more to these accusations surfacing now than we may know. Especially since Dolores Huerta one of the more prominent accusers had no issue having children with Chavez Younger Brother Richard. Or working closely with Caesar for years as part of the Union.
This should be a Women's History Month holiday for California. Farmworkers' Day is still too closely associated with Chavez and will take a generation or two to disassociated his name with farm workers. Another option? No March 31 holiday.
