Los Angeles County is asking residents to help decide whether parks, streets, public artwork and other landmarks bearing César Chávez’s name should be renamed, launching a public survey that officials say will shape the future of some of the region’s most recognizable civic landmarks. The six-question survey comes months after allegations of sexual abuse against the late labor leader prompted a sweeping reassessment of his legacy across California and beyond. County officials say they are intentionally putting the decision in the hands of residents rather than relying on a top-down political process.
