    By Dr. Jim Castagnera, Esq.

    “A character in novelist Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses said she had learned that ‘all courage is a form of constancy.’”

    In this month’s Labor Pulse, Jim Castagnera discusses the significance of recent revelations of allegations that famed agricultural labor organizer César Chávez, who died in 1993, sexually abused National Farm Workers Association co-founder Dolores Huerta, as well as other women and minors.

    Thinking about the ensuing dethronement of Chávez from prior exaltation as an icon of the U.S. labor movement, Jim takes a deeper look at what makes a hero, how our understandings of heroism are sometimes in flux, and then what may yet be at the heart of an enduring notion of working-class heroism.

    To learn more about these developments, enjoy Jim’s latest Labor Pulse article, “The Fall of César Chávez and the Trouble with Heroes.”
