More information and reactions to the allegations, including a statement from the Chavez family commending the courage of the survivors for coming forward, can be found here.Nearly 100 years after Cesar Chavez was born, his mission and message are as important now as ever. That's why when Orange High School Spanish teacher Emily Machias had the opportunity to bring Cesar Chavez's grandson to Orange City Schools during their Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations in 2025, she jumped at the chance to have her students hear from Andres Chavez about the labor leader and civil rights activist's enduring legacy. In this episode, Macias shares her passion for showing students the wider world around them, whether that means bringing them new perspectives, like those of Andres Chavez as he carries on his grandfather's work, or bringing them to new parts of the world, including a recent trip to Peru that included eye-opening visits to homes and a school in a remote part of that country.IN THE NEWS| Check out some of the local news coverage of Andres Chavez' visit to Pepper Pike:Andres Chavez tells crowd at Orange High School how he works to keep grandfather’s legacy alive - cleveland.com Northeast Ohio events will honor Cesar Chavez's labor legacy in the state and beyond | Ideastream Public MediaGrandson of civil rights activist Cesar Chavez to speak Oct. 16 at Orange High School - cleveland.comLEARN MORE | For more information about the Cesar Chavez Foundation and its ongoing work, click here.SHARE YOUR PERSPECTIVE | If you have an education topic you're passionate about or know about great work educators are doing in your Local, we want to hear from you on the podcast!
