Good morning, Stockton.
Businesses and institutions are having broader conversations about who the community chooses to honor.
At San Joaquin Delta College, tributes to Cesar Chavez are being covered or removed as the school considers next steps. Andrea Baltodano reports the decision follows recent allegations of sexual assault against the labor leader, which have prompted institutions across the region to reconsider how his legacy is represented.
Also in today’s briefing, a Stockton rapper connected to a November party that ended in a mass shooting has been released from jail after a parole violation. At the Port of Stockton, barn owls are nesting again in hand-built boxes that have supported the species for years. And two people were killed near Lodi after a pickup truck was struck by a train.
Thank you for reading and for staying connected to the stories shaping Stockton.
