Labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta stands next to first lady Jill Biden as she talks with volunteers at a vaccination site at The Forty Acres, the first headquarters of the United Farm Workers labor union, in Delano, Calif. Stories circulating online incorrectly assert Biden gave a speech with the Nazi flag in the background. The flag, seen in the background, features a black eagle surrounded by a white circle on a red background. It was created in the 1960s by César Chávez’s brother, Richard Chávez, and his cousin, Manuel Chávez. The union’s website includes a quote from Chávez explaining the flag’s design: “A symbol is an important thing. That is why we chose an Aztec eagle. It gives pride…When people see it they know it means dignity.” (Mandel Ngan/Pool via AP)AP
