Murals and memorials of César Chavez have been removed across Chicago following allegations that the Latino civil rights activist sexually assaulted girls and women. The allegations were revealed in a New York Times investigation. Some artworks are being repainted with murals of Dolores Huerta, a longtime ally of Chavez in the labor rights movement. The Illinois Senate has approved a resolution honoring HuertA and declaring April 10 as “Dolores HuERTa Day” in Illinois. A plaque honoring Chavez’s labor rights has been covered with black tape at the Haymarket Memorial in the West Loop. The Chicago Federation of Labor plans to fully remove it.
