Congressman Vicente Gonzalez: Rename Cesar Chavez Sites After South Texas Hero, Dr. Hector P. Garcia
“On March 18, 2026, the New York Times published an investigation with serious allegations of abuse perpetrated by Cesar Chavez, the former leader of United Farm Workers of America,” wrote Congressman Gonzalez. “In response to these allegations, many public entities are considering removing or have already removed Cesar Chavez’s name from streets, buildings and schools. As you consider renaming some of these establishments, I ask that you rename them in honor of a great South Texas hero, Dr. Hector P. Garcia. Dr. Garcia was a civil rights leader with an impeccable record of hard work and strong moral leadership.”
