Washington, D.C.-(ENEWSPF)- Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02) introduced H.R. 2626, The Pullman National Historical Park Act. This bill would build on President Obama’s intent to preserve and honor the neighborhood as a part of the National Park System.
“In 2015, President Obama designated Pullman as a National Monument, and I want to ensure that we are doing everything we can to preserve the legacy of the Pullman neighborhood as a whole,” said Congresswoman Kelly. “National Historical Park designation will allow us to honor the many complex culturally and historically significant features of Pullman, including its role in the labor movement and in African American culture of Chicago.”
