Civil rights leader speaks out about alleged abuse by Cesar Chavez

In an interview with ABC, Dolores Huerta alleged her co-founder of United Farm Workers labor union sexually assaulted her and said both assaults resulted in pregnancies. It comes just days after a New York Times article alleged that Cesar Chavez sexually abused girls and women for decades. The Cesar Chavez Foundation said that it was “deeply shocked” by the disturbing allegations.
