Celebrations and commemorative events dedicated to farm labor leader Cesar Chavez are being canceled or renamed by organizers nationwide as new allegations emerge about the activist’s past conduct.
The reports detailing alleged misconduct by Chavez have prompted event planners across the United States to reassess their tributes to the civil rights figure who championed farmworker rights.
Some organizers are choosing to completely cancel their planned events, while others are opting to rebrand their celebrations to distance themselves from the controversial allegations surrounding the late activist’s legacy.
