HR 2446 United States House · 118th Congress

César E. Chávez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park Act

This bill redesignates the existing César E. Chávez National Monument in Keene, California, as the César E. Chávez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park, while expanding its boundaries to include key sites like Delano’s Forty Acres (where farmworkers organized), Phoenix’s Santa Rita Center, and San Jose’s McDonnell Hall. It preserves and interprets locations central to César Chávez’s work and the farmworker movement’s history, as identified in a 2013 National Park Service study. The bill also authorizes the study of the 1966 Delano-to-Sacramento march route as a potential national historic trail. The park will be managed by the National Park Service under standard park system laws, focusing on public education about this chapter of U.S. labor history.
