Celebrations and commemorative events dedicated to labor leader Cesar Chavez are being called off or renamed by planners nationwide following emerging allegations about the activist’s past conduct.
The reports concerning the prominent farm workers’ rights advocate have prompted event coordinators across the United States to take a second look at their planned tributes and decide whether to proceed with honoring Chavez.
Some organizers have chosen to completely cancel their scheduled events, while others are moving forward with rebranded celebrations that distance themselves from the controversial figure.
