(KRON) -- Amid recent allegations against Cesar Chavez, debate has arisen on whether to continue observing anything associated with the civil rights icon, including the annual holiday that falls on his March 31 birthday. Santa Clara County has announced it will continue to observe March 31 as an of ficial holiday. However, the county said the holiday will shift the focus to commemorating the farmworker movement, highlighting the "bravery and leadership of Dolores Huerta." The county added that the holiday is more about than a single individual, referring to Chavez. “In the coming weeks, we plan to engage in a thoughtful conversation as a County and as a community about how this annual holiday can best reflect the values it represents and the movement for justice that inspired it," the county said in a news release. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said Cesar Chavez Day events will be cancelled this March. Mahan added that his office will initiate processes to review locations associated with Chavez. Cesar Chavez's name is on numerous landmarks and schools across the entire Bay Area. There have been discussions about removing his name from these places. San Francisco District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder said she will support community efforts to take down Chavez's name from any institutions in her district. KRON4 is unaware of any formal effort underway to rename the roadway at this time. In the East Bay, Contra Costa County rescheduled its 32nd Annual Cesar E. Chavez Commemorative Celebration to no longer correspond with the March 31 holiday dedicated to Chavez. Cesar Chavez Day was declared a state holiday in 2000 and made a federal holiday in 2014. ...read more read less
