Episode Details

San Diego just made history by renaming César E. Chávez Parkway to Chicano Park Boulevard — a bold move honoring decades of community struggle and reclaiming cultural identity. After a New York Times exposé revealed serious allegations against the late labor leader, the city followed through on Mayor Todd Gloria’s executive order, removing Chávez’s name from public assets. The new name, approved by the city council, symbolizes more than a street sign — it’s a powerful statement of resilience, justice, and a reckoning with the past. Alongside renaming the March 31 holiday to Farmworkers Day, this change reflects a broader commitment to telling the full story of the labor movement — one that centers the voices and sacrifices of the Chicano community.
