This bill would establish the César E. Chávez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park, spanning several significant sites in California and Arizona. It would also create the Farmworker Peregrinación National Historic Trail, marking the 300-mile route of the 1966 march from Delano to Sacramento.
For the public, this legislation would preserve and provide federal resources for sites like "The Forty Acres" in Delano and the Santa Rita Center in Phoenix, ensuring these locations are maintained for education and tourism. The National Park Service would be authorized to offer public tours, historical exhibits, and educational programs that explain the history of the farmworker movement and the life of César Chávez. Additionally, the bill protects private property rights by requiring the consent of landowners before the federal government can acquire any land for the new historic trail.
