Happy to see this phony icon disgraced. He went around the US speaking to college students:
What Chavez failed to tell their audiences was:
How the UFW formed “goon squads” designed to intimidate the non-UFW workers in the fields by threatening them with physical harm if they continued to work.
How the UFW used Catholic priests to intimidate the deeply religious workers by calling them scabs.
How the majority of those on the UFW picket lines were actually college students bussed in from across the country.
How UFW negotiations resulted in less pay for farm workers.
All of those lies gave Chavez fame, political power and holidays in his name. Yes! And the vindication just came from the most unexpected source – The New York Times!
According to the Times report, Chavez, the poolroom thug was also a pedophile and sexual predator! The paper interviewed more than 60 people, including his top aides at the time. And the Times reviewed hundreds of pages of union records, confidential emails, photos, and hours of audio recordings. The paper found that several girls as young as 12 and 13 were forced into sexual situations with Chavez, right in his office. There were many who admired Chavez and worked in the UFW office as volunteers. He preyed on them. Two of these young girls, now in their 60s, have finally come forward and told their stories. They are Ana Murguia and Debra Rojas. In both cases, their parents were Chavez supporters who trusted him to protect their daughters.
But that’s not all. Evidence also shows Chavez forced several adult women into sexual situations as well, resulting in at least four illegitimate children.
The lying cheat who cared nothing for the oppressed has been exposed. Even the United Farm Workers Union issued a statement saying it would not take part in any activities celebrating Chavez’s birthday. Several states, including California, are dropping holidays in honor of him. Now let’s get rid of those streets named after him. Cesar Chavez is being relegated to the trash heap of history where he belongs.
Thanks for all that detail, Fred.
The situation seems analogous to that of MLK Jr. and Jesse Jackson and probably countless others.
