Some states and cities have canceled their observances of Cesar Chavez Day on March 31. Los Angeles leaders said they planned to change the holiday to "Farm Workers Day" and untether it from Mr. Chavez's birthday.
Organizers of events named for or honoring Cesar Chavez around the country are now cancelling or re-branding them in light of reports of the farm labor activist's past alleged abuses.
An investigation by The New York Times found extensive evidence that the United Farm Workers co-founder groomed and sexually abused girls who worked in the movement.
