Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, the César E. Chávez BID 38 changed its name to Sixteen Street BID 38, after allegations surfaced on March 18th that Chávez had sexually abused women and young girls. The $50,000 Chávez life-size bronze statue at the El Rey Supermercado at the 900 block of S. César E. Chávez Drive was removed days after the allegations were raised by Dolores Huerta, 95, the co-founder of the United Farm Workers union movement. Chávez was also the co-founder of the UFW labor union.

Chávez died in 1993 an innocent man with no criminal history of sexually assaulting women or young girls. The unprofound allegations of sexual abuse by Chávez surfaced after 33 years of his death and he is no longer alive to tell his side of the story.

The allegations of sexual abuse by Huerta  and several other women who say they were 12 and 13 when the sexual abuse occurred, but offered no actual proof or evidence when reported by the New York Times (NYT). The NYT reported that they uncovered evidence that Chávez did commit sexual abuse, but all that they uncovered were mere allegations raised in emails from the UFW and other sources going back ten years ago. Also, the NYT says they interviewed 60 people and Chávez relatives, but none of them actually witnessed the sexual assaults. 

To date, the NYT nor the alleged victims have provided any actual proof of the allegations other then Huerta admitting she had two children (girls) that César E.  Chávez fathered with her.

In addition, an allegation was also raised that Huerta had a third child with César which a DNA test proved he was the father, but apparently Huerta and Richard Chávez's brother raised. Huerta gave up the two daughters with César for other families to raise.

Huerta did admit that she had consensual sex with César and got pregnant, and then on a second occasion, she alleged César sexually assaulted her and became pregnant again.

César's statues, streets and schools named after him were taken down, and his legacy has been erased over mere allegations.

Compared to Trump, the U.S. President who has had a history of alleged accusations of sexual assaults of women and young girls as young as 13. Which the Epstein files documented the allegations and investigations by the FBI against Trump.

Now, the U.S. Treasury wants coins and $100 bills to have his photo and signature, despite being accused of being a known pedophile, according to the Epstein files.

The U.S. has double standards, one for people of color, which are merely accused of sexually abusing women and young girls, and their legacy is erased, and a second for Whites who are allegedly accused as pedophiles, which their legacy stays intact while in office.

Evidence today shows, that Make Amerikkka Great Again (MAGA) and Republicans do protect their own alleged White pedophiles.
