West Coast correspondent Jim Carlton has been speaking to people on the ground.

Jim, you and I are both in San Francisco, California.

I grew up in the L.A.

region where Cesar Chavez was a prominent figure.

Why was he so important in California specifically?

And how would you describe his relationship with the state?

Yes, and Dolores Huerta made sexual abuse allegations against Chavez this week.

What has the sentiment been like among locals as officials talk about getting rid of the day in his honor and taking his name off buildings?

Jim Carlton, West Coast correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, thanks for being here.

And that's What's News for this week.

Tomorrow, you can look out for a weekly markets wrap-up, What's News in Markets.

Then on Sunday, we'll be discussing how the Iran war, higher fuel prices, and a lapse in funding for TSA agents are disrupting air travel both in the U.S.

and abroad.

That's in What's News Sunday.

And we'll be back with our regular show on Monday morning.

Today's show was produced by Pierre Bien-Aimé with supervising producer Tali Arbel.

Michael LaValle wrote our theme music.

Aisha Al-Muslim is our development producer.

Chris Dinsley is our deputy editor.

And Falana Patterson is The Wall Street Journal's head of news audio.
