The New York Times reported Wednesday that Chavez, who died in 1993, groomed and sexually abused young girls whose parents worked in the movement during the 1970s. The activist Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association with Chavez, also told the Times that Chavez sexually assaulted her when she was an adult. Hours after she learned that Csar Chavez, the iconic Latino farm labor activist, had been accused of sexually assaulting girls in the movement he led, Austin city council member Vanessa Fuentes began hearing from constituents demanding the city rename Csar Chavez Street.
