Cesar Chavez Day — a big day for the labor movement — is now being reckoned with under the newly renamed “Farmworkers Day” following revelations of a disgraced leader’s sex scandal. March 31 will continue to be celebrated among the working class, but under a new banner after a New York Times investigation earlier this month revealed allegations that the namesake of the labor movement sexually assaulted and raped minor girls and women, including activist Dolores Huerta, who had two of Chavez’s children. Since then, it’s not just his name facing scrutiny.
