Cesar Chavez controversy sparks debate over legacy
March 24
One of the most esteemed figures in the Latino civil rights movement, Cesar Chavez, was accused of having abused young women and minors for years, a New York Times investigation found.
The United Farm Workers co-founder had groomed and sexually abused girls who worked in the movement. The recent abuse allegations have sparked a movement to denounce Cesar Chavez.
Latino admirers of the once-celebrated civil rights leader had worked quickly to erase his name, likeness and image from honors and memorials.
Carlos Galindo-Elvira, Former Phoenix City Councilman, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the issue.
