“I Have Kept This Secret Long Enough.  My Silence Ends Here.” Growing, Disturbing Accusations Against Iconic Latino Leader

from Real-Time Crime · host iHeartPodcasts

95-year-old Dolores Huerta waited 60 years to finally tell her story of sexual abuse by once beloved labor rights leader Cesar Chavez. Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers Association with Chavez back in the 1960s. Even though Chavez died more than 3 decades ago, we’re only now hearing from dozens of women after a New York Times investigation detailed decades of abuse from women who say they were as young as 12 when Chavez began to sexually abuse them. Hear how the Chavez family is reacting, how the Labor union he founded is responding and why streets, buildings and celebrations may all change because of this investigation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
