YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor decades, Cesar Chavez was one of the most celebrated names in American civil rights history — the man who organized farmworkers, stood up to Big Agriculture, and gave the Latino community a national hero. And for decades, the women he abused stayed silent because they believed exposing him would destroy the very movement they'd given their lives to. That silence ended this month. A New York Times investigation — interviews with more than 60 people and backed by extensive documentary evidence — revealed that Chavez groomed and sexually abused multiple women and girls over decades, including Dolores Huerta, the woman who co-founded the United Farm Workers alongside him. Huerta, now 95, has spoken publicly for the first time in 60 years. Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson lays out the full story: who knew, when they knew, how the institution protected him — and why this follows the exact same playbook as Epstein, Weinstein, and every other powerful predator history has ever had to reckon with.
