Chicano artist and muralist Carlos Lopez marched with Chavez as a child. He said he was shocked to hear the recent sexual assault allegations that have the late labor leader's legacy under scrutiny.
"When I hear that Chavez had done these atrocities to these ladies, it was like a sucker gut punch," Lopez said.
"After discussion with the show's curator and the artist's family, we have removed the piece and replaced with another by the same artist," Crocker Art Museum said in a statement.
"I would have never guessed this, you know?" Lopez said. "I would have never thought this would be part of his legacy."
"One of her daughters lived at our place, our family home, when we were growing up for a while," Lopez said.
"I'm in a quandary over it, really," Lopez said. "Yeah, an emotional quandary."
