Huerta, his longtime collaborator and co-founder of the United Farm Workers, also said publicly that she was abused and had kept it secret for decades to protect the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-16.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-16.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-16.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-16.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-16.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-16.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Formerly known as the C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Parade and Festival, the event was renamed the Dolores Huerta Parade and Festival amid sexual abuse allegations against C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez.

Her father, Larry Mart\u00ednez, was Cesar Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s bodyguard and as a child didn\u2019t know the taste of grapes.&nbsp; \u201cI believe in due process,\u201d said Mart\u00ednez, legal staff at Alameda County Counsel. \u201cThis happened 60 years ago and in less than four days you want to strip everything down like he didn\u2019t exist? Rather than erasing Ch\u00e1vez\u2019 from public view, add Huerta\u2019s, she offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone agrees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe renaming is essential,\u201c said 21-year-old San Jose State University student Alyssa Gamino at the street festival. \u201cIt\u2019s only fair &#8211; we have to hold people accountable, no matter if they\u2019re in the grave because it represents our morals\u2026 of course it\u2019s important what he did for workers\u2019 rights too, but if he hurt women, he shouldn\u2019t get all the recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd yes, change the street name to Dolores Huerta,\u201d Gamino added. \u201cShe\u2019s actually accomplished the same thing as C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez so why not rename it after her? She\u2019s been an essential part of the movement.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supervisor Jackie Fielder has said she supports efforts to remove Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s name from institutions in District 9, which includes the street and a local elementary school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the shift is already playing out across the cultural and artistic landscape of the Mission and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just days after the allegations surfaced, a mural of C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez at a well-known Mission District home was painted over by the property owner and artist, who said the decision was made quickly in response to the reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mural, located at the Latin Rock Music House near York and 25th streets, had long been part of a site celebrating Latino cultural figures. In its place, artists said they are now considering new imagery, including honoring Dolores Huerta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-11.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-11.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-11.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-11.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-11.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04112026_DoloresHuertaParade_ET_EG_JPEG-5-11.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Participants march along 24th Street during the newly renamed Dolores Huerta Parade and Festival.
