Cesar Chavez abuse allegations rattle communities, spark calls for name changes and removals

Civil rights leader Dolores Huerta said Tuesday that she was sexually abused by labor organizer Cesar Chavez in the 1960s, which resulted in two pregnancies. The statement comes as the United Farm Workers announced Tuesday it will not participate in upcoming Cesar Chavez Day events. The union did not provide specifics, but said the most concerning claims involve alleged abuse of young women or minors. RELATED: UFW says it won’t join Cesar Chavez Day events amid 'troubling allegations' about Chavez Huerta's statement reads: I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for. I have encouraged people to always use their voice. Following the New York Times’ multi-year investigation into sexual misconduct by Cesar Chavez, I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences. As a young mother in the 1960s, I experienced two separate sexual encounters with Cesar. The first time I was manipulated and pressured into having sex with him, and I didn’t feel I could say no because he was someone that I admired, my boss and the leader of the movement I had already devoted years of my life to. The second time I was forced, against my will, and in an environment where I felt trapped. ___________ Have a tip? Email us at news@okcfox.com Have a video or photo you want to share?
