Sac Considers Renaming Cesar Chavez Plaza

A New York Times investigation has unraveled the heroic reputation of Cesar Chavez, accusing the late labor leader of sexually assaulting underage girls. Dolores Huerta, who cofounded the United Farm Workers with Chavez, also revealed that he raped and sexually assaulted her - and that she had two children from those encounters. This morning, she gave her first interview since the investigation was published with Latino USA’s Maria Hinojosa. In the immediate hours since the investigation went public, an increasing number of officials have been grappling with what to do with the holiday - and many public places - named in his honor. Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty joins us about how the city is considering renaming Cesar Chavez Plaza.

Cesar Chavez Biographer

We are also joined by an acclaimed biographer who explains why Cesar Chavez the man is more complicated than his legacy as a labor icon. Miriam Pawel is a journalist, and author of The Crusades of Cesar Chavez and The Union of Their Dreams.
