Historians in San Jose say McDonnell Hall is more than just a building, and so they're glad to see it take the national stage."I think it's fantastic, and I'll tell you why... because it's not really the story of Cesar Chavez. It's really the story of thousands and thousands and thousands of farm workers," says Dr. Gregorio Mora-Torres, a former San Jose State University professor.But on this Cesar Chavez Day, Paul is glad to see that legacy honored.
"So we're grateful, but also we remember how my father would probably remind us that there's a lot of work to be done, and we should not lose focus of that," he says. The Cesar Chavez and Farmworker Movement National Historical Park would likely be comprised of multiple locations. I would include the existing Cesar Chavez National Monument in Keene, California, Forty Acres in Delano, California and McDonnell Hall in San Jose. It would also include the Santa Rita Center in Phoenix. The Department of the Interior would be expected to come up with a management plan over the next three years.
