I remember the public Cesar Chavez. I also remember that he was born in the U.S., a WW II veteran, and that he opposed illegal immigration. My question is: why did Dolores Huerta wait this long to make these statements about him? What were her motives? Sympathy? Jealousy that he had a holiday named for him and she did not? Did she get some kind of payout and it ended? Too many questions that won't be answered.
They did it to Harvey Milk, too - he was a proud Jew and a Zionist (that part kind of went without saying in those much smarter times). So, both his Jewish identity and Zionism had to be erased.
I’m not even gay, or even really a leftist, but it burns me up that “Zionists”, in scare quotes because their Zionist is a construction, are no longer welcome at “Dyke March”, or other Gay Pride events.
I am from San Francisco and my burning question is: Can we change “Cesar Chavez Way” back to “ARMY Street” now? A lot of us didn’t like the renaming of such an historic major street to begin with.

His naval service has been questioned too or at least how much he valued it.
I didn't know that his service was questioned. Thank you for the information.

That’s one heck of a picket line - the southern border.
Yup. the National Review wrote a piece about him. It was inevitable these days.
Time to rename a US Navy Ship
