McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The streets of Laredo could soon sport the name of famous civil rights icon Cesar Chavez.
The Laredo City Council on Monday approved renaming the entranceway to the city’s sports complex as Cesar Chavez Boulevard.
City Councilwoman Melissa Cigarroa told Border Report on Wednesday, however, that the renaming is “contingent on permission given by the family who donated the land.”
Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, representing migrant field workers.
