Cesar Chavez will get canceled for this and he should, but there are a gajillion things in this country named after enslavers like Washington and Jefferson. Interesting how some heroes are immune to cancellation and others are not

United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta went public with her own account of being raped by Cesar Chavez, following a NYT investigation.
Huerta said she kept the secret because, “I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for.”
