The New York Times spoke to more than 60 people, reporting that Chavez, who died in 1993, sexually abused two underage girls who were the daughters of United Farm Workers organizers in the 1970s.

Reporters also spoke to 95-year-old Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the UFW with Chavez.

Huerta is a legend in her own right, a feminist icon who created the famous rallying cry, Si Se Puede.

That was Huerta giving a speech in 1966.

She told the New York Times that she rose to a leadership position in a movement dominated by a sexist machismo culture.

In her interview, Huerta described being manipulated and forced into sex with Chavez.

She said those encounters resulted in two children, whom she arranged to be cared for by others.

This was the first time she revealed these details of her life.

In its investigation, the Times reports they could not independently verify Huerta's claims since she hadn't told anyone about them until very recently.

In her statement about the Times story, Huerta said she was sickened to learn that Chavez also hurt young girls and that, quote, Cesar's actions do not reflect the values of our community and our movement.

Arellano notes that there are a lot of questions that will still need to be answered.

In particular, who might have known or whether anyone suppressed allegations.

In the meantime, those who have long celebrated Chavez as a hero are now confronting a much more complicated legacy.

It's a one-word name that the world has come to know over the past 25 years.

Now, let's tell you a little bit about Banksy.

You can likely picture his work in your mind, a girl reaching out for a heart-shaped balloon or a masked man launching a bouquet of flowers like it was a Molotov cocktail.

His art is famous, his name is legendary, but his identity?

It's been shrouded in mystery.

That is, until now.

A new report from Reuters claims to reveal the man behind the spray can.
