Cesar Chavez park, holiday, and public art reconsideration
Pomona
Summary
After a New York Times investigation accused Cesar Chavez of abusing girls, Pomona is deciding what to do with Cesar Chavez Park, the March 31 holiday, and three public art pieces. The holiday was already renamed Farm Workers Day; the council is taking a careful, artist-and-community-inclusive approach rather than removing things overnight.
