A relentless advocate of human dignity, she has always been its most persuasive symbol, but as monuments to United Farm Workers co-founder Cesar Chavez come down unceremoniously after abuse allegations, Huerta ascends as an emblem of hope and light. In Los Angeles, a new exhibition reflects \u201cHuerta\u2019s own emphasis on everyday people in the farmworker movement rather than demagogues,\u201d writes Ren\u00e9e Reizman today, proving that the historic labor struggle \u201cdoesn\u2019t need Chavez as its main character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New Yorkers, here&#8217;s a riddle for you: Where can you spot a family of shrimp, a hot air balloon, a glamorous swan, and not one but <em>two<\/em> faux Faberg\u00e9 eggs?
