A Hispanic group called for renaming Abilene's Cesar Chavez Recreation Center after sexual abuse allegations surfaced against him.

Amid recent allegations of sexual abuse against late activist Cesar Chavez, the Phoenix Union High School District's Governing Board met to discuss a high school of theirs that bears Chavez's name.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to quickly sign the bill changing the name just days ahead of the March 31 holiday.

Chavez became the face of Latino civil and labor rights in the media and in history books. But scholars and activists are asking why "a community is only allowed to have one figure."

Revelations about the creation of the United Farm Workers under César Chávez are adding to a reassessment of the organization that had already been underway.

That rallying cry was long associated with United Farm Workers, the largest farmworker union in the U.S. It was coined by Huerta, who told the Times she stayed silent for decades after Chavez raped her in the 1960s for fear that any negative attention would hurt the larger movement.

Artists, filmmakers and singers once championed Chavez as a hero. Now, they must rethink how to tell his story. "It's just been gut-wrenching," one muralist says.
