Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

What a huge loss. NOT STRAIGHT, NOT WHITE was such an inspiration for me and many other historians. "Without an acknowledged heritage, at any moment one’s voice may be drowned out, one’s social standing is disabled, and one’s chances for civic belonging plummet."

I fell down a rabbit hole yesterday via Leslie Reagan's "When Abortion Was a Crime," and wondered if anyone knew of historical work that examined the use of Leunbach's Paste / Provokol (1930s) or potassium permanganate (1950s) to end pregnancies. Maybe @erinacean.bsky.social has an idea? #histmed
