The Denver group planning an April march and celebration of renowned labor and migrant leader César Chávez said Wednesday it would cancel the event in light of credible allegations of sexual abuse by the late Hispanic icon. The César Chávez Peace and Justice Committee of Denver had planned their event for April 11, but issued an unambiguous cancellation on Facebook. “The César Chávez Peace and Justice Committee of Denver has reviewed the allegations against César Chávez,” the statement said. Chávez marches and celebrations in other cities are also being canceled. The Denver Public Library has a César Chávez Latino Leadership Hall of Fame Award.
