César Chávez and Farmworker Movement National Historical Park: Preserving Heritage
This act renames an existing national monument to a National Historical Park, aiming to better preserve and interpret the history of César Chávez and the farmworker movement. This means enhanced educational opportunities and access to sites significant for labor rights history in the U.S., potentially increasing public awareness and promoting values related to social justice.
Key points
Redesignation of the César E. Chávez National Monument to a National Historical Park, strengthening heritage preservation and interpretation.
Potential inclusion of additional historical sites related to the farmworker movement in California and Arizona, increasing public access.
Establishment of a management plan for the park, which may lead to further development and a deeper understanding of the movement's history.
Initiation of a study for the Farmworker Peregrinación National Historic Trail, potentially creating a new tourist and educational attraction.
