Cesar Chavez and the reevaluation of how we honor historical figures

A New York Times investigation has uncovered sexual abuse allegations against Latino civil rights leader, Cesar Chavez. Since then, cities throughout the country have removed or are considering removing Chavez’s name from buildings, street signs, plaques and more. In Milwaukee, a statue of Chavez at El Rey Family Market on Chavez Drive was removed. City leaders say there will be a conversation about renaming the street and Milwaukee’s celebration of Cesar Chavez Day has been cancelled.
