César E. Chávez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park Act
Summary
H.R. 2446 would expand and rename the existing César E. Chávez National Monument to become the César E. Chávez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park. This change would incorporate several significant locations across California and Arizona—including sites in Delano, Phoenix, and San Jose—into a unified historical park managed by the National Park Service.
For citizens, this legislation would preserve and provide public access to key landmarks associated with the history of the farmworker movement and the life of César Chávez. It also authorizes the Department of the Interior to create educational programs and museum exhibits at these sites, while initiating a study to determine if the 300-mile "Farmworker Peregrinación" march route should be designated as a National Historic Trail.
