TUSKEGEE
UNIVERSITY.—The

of Alabama and founded by Booker T. Washington
in 1881, formerly named Tuskegee Institute.
SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) The struggle of African-Americans for
greater roles in North American military conflicts
spans the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Op-
portunities for African-American participation in the
United States military were always very limited and
controversial. Quotas, exclusion, and racial discrimi-
nation were based on the prevailing attitude in the
United States, particularly on the part of the United
States military, that African-Americans did not pos-
sess the intellectual capacity, aptitude, and skills to
be successful fighters.
(2) As late as the 1940’s these perceptions con-
tinued within the United States military. Key lead-
ers within the United States Army Air Corps did not
believe that African-Americans possessed the capac-
ity to become successful military pilots. After suc-
cumbing to pressure exerted by civil rights groups
and the black press, the Army decided to train a
small number of African-American pilot cadets
under special conditions. Although prejudice and dis-
crimination against African-Americans was a na-
tional phenomenon, not just a southern trait, it was
more intense in the South where it had hardened
into rigidly enforced patterns of segregation. Such
was the environment where the military chose to lo-
cate the training of the Tuskegee Airmen.
(3) The military selected Tuskegee Institute
(now known as Tuskegee University) as a civilian
contractor for a variety of reasons. These included
the school’s existing facilities, engineering and tech-
nical instructors, and a climate with ideal flying con-
ditions year round. Tuskegee Institute’s strong in-
terest in providing aeronautical training for African-
American youths was also an important factor. Stu-
dents from the school’s civilian pilot training pro-
gram had some of the best test scores when com-
pared to other students from programs across the
Southeast.
(4) In 1941 the United States Army Air Corps
awarded a contract to Tuskegee Institute to operate
a primary flight school at Moton Field. Tuskegee In-
stitute (now known as Tuskegee University) chose
an African-American contractor who designed and
constructed Moton Field, with the assistance of its
faculty and students, as the site for its military pilot
training program. The field was named for the
school’s second president, Robert Russa Moton. Con-
sequently, Tuskegee Institute was one of a very few
American institutions (and the only African-Amer-
ican institution) to own, develop, and control facili-
ties for military flight instruction.
(5) Moton Field, also known as the Primary
Flying Field or Airport Number 2, was the only pri-
mary flight training facility for African-American
pilot candidates in the United States Army Air
Corps during World War II. The facility symbolizes
the entrance of African-American pilots into the
United States Army Air Corps, although on the
basis of a policy of segregation that was mandated
by the military and institutionalized in the South.
The facility also symbolizes the singular role of
Tuskegee Institute (Tuskegee University) in provid-
ing leadership as well as economic and educational
resources to make that entry possible.
(6) The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Afri-
can-American soldiers to complete their training suc-
cessfully and to enter the United States Army Air
Corps. Almost 1,000 aviators were trained as Ameri-
ca’s first African-American military pilots. In addi-
tion, more than 10,000 military and civilian African-
American men and women served as flight instruc-
tors, officers, bombardiers, navigators, radio techni-
cians, mechanics, air traffic controllers, parachute
riggers, electrical and communications specialists,
medical professionals, laboratory assistants, cooks,
musicians, supply, firefighting, and transportation
personnel.
(7) Although military leaders were hesitant to
use the Tuskegee Airmen in combat, the Airmen
eventually saw considerable action in North Africa
and Europe. Acceptance from United States Army
Air Corps units came slowly, but their courageous
and, in many cases, heroic performance earned them
increased combat opportunities and respect.
(8) The successes of the Tuskegee Airmen
proved to the American public that African-Ameri-
cans, when given the opportunity, could become ef-
fective military leaders and pilots. This helped pave
the way for desegregation of the military, beginning
with President Harry S. Truman’s Executive Order
9981 in 1948. The Tuskegee Airmen’s success also
helped set the stage for civil rights advocates to con-
tinue the struggle to end racial discrimination dur-
ing the civil rights movement of the 1950’s and
1960’s.
(9) The story of the Tuskegee Airmen also re-
flects the struggle of African-Americans to achieve
equal rights, not only through legal attacks on the
system of segregation, but also through the tech-
niques of nonviolent direct action. The members of
the 477th Bombardment Group, who staged a non-
violent demonstration to desegregate the officer’s
club at Freeman Field, Indiana, helped set the pat-
tern for direct action protests popularized by civil
rights activists in later decades.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this title are the
following:
(1) To inspire present and future generations to
strive for excellence by understanding and appreciat-
ing the heroic legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen,
through interpretation and education, and the pres-
ervation of cultural resources at Moton Field, which
was the site of primary flight training.
(2) To commemorate and interpret—
(A) the impact of the Tuskegee Airmen
during World War II;
(B) the training process for the Tuskegee
Airmen, including the roles played by Moton
Field, other training facilities, and related sites;
(C) the African-American struggle for
greater participation in the United States
Armed Forces and more significant roles in de-
fending their country;
(D) the significance of successes of the
Tuskegee Airmen in leading to desegregation of
the United States Armed Forces shortly after
World War II; and
(E) the impacts of Tuskegee Airmen ac-
complishments on subsequent civil rights ad-
vances of the 1950’s and 1960’s.
(3) To recognize the strategic role of Tuskegee
Institute (now Tuskegee University) in training the
airmen and commemorating them at this historic
site.

SEC. 505. ROSIE THE RIVETER NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
AFFILIATED SITE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) The City of Richmond, California, is located
on the northeastern shore of San Francisco Bay and
consists of several miles of waterfront which have
been used for shipping and industry since the begin-
ning of the 20th century. During the years of World
War II, the population of Richmond grew from 220
to over 100,000.
(2) An area of Richmond, California, now
known as Marina Park and Marina Green, was the
location in the 1940’s of the Richmond Kaiser Ship-
yards, which produced Liberty and Victory ships
during World War II.
(3) Thousands of women of all ages and
ethnicities moved from across the United States to
Richmond, California, in search of high paying jobs
and skills never before available to women in the
shipyards.
(4) Kaiser Corporation supported women work-
ers by installing child care centers at the shipyards
so mothers could work while their children were well
cared for nearby.
(5) These women, referred to as ‘‘Rosie the
Riveter’’ and ‘‘Wendy the Welder’’, built hundreds of
liberty and victory ships in record time for use by
the United States Navy. Their labor played a crucial
role in increasing American productivity during the
war years and in meeting the demand for naval
ships.
(6) In part the Japanese plan to defeat the
United States Navy was predicated on victory occur-
ring before United States shipyards could build up
its fleet of ships.
(7) The City of Richmond, California, has dedi-
cated the former site of Kaiser Shipyard #2 as
Rosie the Riveter Memorial Park and will construct
a memorial honoring American women’s labor dur-
ing World War II. The memorial will be representa-
tive of one of the Liberty ships built on the site dur-
ing the war effort.
(8) The City of Richmond, California, is com-
mitted to collective interpretative oral histories for
the public to learn of the stories of the ‘‘Rosies’’ and
‘‘Wendys’’ who worked in the shipyards.
(9) The Rosie the Riveter Park is a nationally
significant site because there tens of thousands of
women entered the work force for the first time,
working in heavy industry to support their families
and the War effort. This was a turning point for the
Richmond, California, area and the nation as a
whole, when women joined the workforce and suc-
cessfully completed jobs for which previously it was
believed they were incapable.
(b) STUDY.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary of the Inte-

mittee established by the City of Richmond,
California, with respect to that park is eligible

Richmond Kaiser Shipyards.
