Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) in 1970, the Secretary of the Interior designated the 
        Pullman Historic District as a National Historic Landmark 
        District in 1970 because of--
                    (A) the significance of the District to the labor 
                history, social history, architecture, and urban 
                planning of the United States; and
                    (B) the pivotal role of events in the District in 
                creating the first national Labor Day holiday in the 
                world;
            (2) between 1880 and 1884 George M. Pullman, owner of the 
        Pullman Palace Car Company, built the Pullman community, which 
        was envisioned by Pullman as an industrial town that would 
        provide employees with--
                    (A) a model community; and
                    (B) suitable living conditions;
            (3) the town developed by George M. Pullman, which 
        consisted of over 1,000 buildings and homes, was awarded ``The 
        World's Most Perfect Town'' at the International Hygienic and 
        Pharmaceutical Exposition in 1896;
            (4) the Pullman factory site is a true symbol of the 
        historic struggle in the United States to achieve fair labor 
        practices for the working class, with the original factory 
        serving as the catalyst for the first industry-wide strike in 
        the United States;
            (5) in the midst of economic depression in 1894, to protest 
        unsafe conditions and reductions in pay, Pullman factory 
        workers initiated a strike that--
                    (A) when taken up as a cause by the American 
                Railway Union, crippled the entire rail industry;
                    (B) continued even in the face of a Federal 
                injunction and a showdown between laborers and Federal 
                troops that turned violent and deadly; and
                    (C) set a national example for the ability of 
                working people in the United States to change the 
                existing system in favor of more just practices for 
                protecting workers rights and safety;
            (6) following the deaths of a number of workers at the 
        hands of the United States military and United States Marshals 
        during the 1894 strike, Congress unanimously voted to approve 
        rush legislation that created a national Labor Day holiday, 
        which was signed into law by President Grover Cleveland 6 days 
        after the end of the strike;
            (7) the Pullman Palace Car Company also played an important 
        role in African-American and early civil rights history through 
        the legacy of the Pullman porters, many of whom were ex-slaves 
        were employed in a heavily discriminatory environment 
        immediately following the Civil War;
            (8) the Pullman porters, who served diligently between the 
        1870s and the 1960s, have been commended for--
                    (A) the level of service and attention to detail of 
                the Pullman porters; and
                    (B) the contributions of the Pullman porters to the 
                development of the African-American middle class;
            (9) the information, ideas, and commerce the Pullman 
        porters carried across the country while traveling on trains 
        helped to bring education and wealth to African-American 
        communities throughout the United States;
            (10) the positive role of the Pullman porters in the 
        historical image of the first-class service that was made 
        available on Pullman cars is unmistakable;
            (11) the Pullman community was the seminal home to the 
        Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, which--
                    (A) was the first African-American labor union with 
                a collective bargaining agreement;
                    (B) was founded by civil rights pioneer A. Philip 
                Randolph in 1925;
                    (C) fought against discrimination and in support of 
                just labor practices; and
                    (D) helped lay the groundwork for what became the 
                great Civil Rights Movement of the 20th Century;
            (12) the Pullman community is--
                    (A) a paramount illustration of the work of 
                architect Solon Spencer Beman;
                    (B) a well-preserved example of 19th Century 
                community planning, architecture, and landscape design; 
                and
                    (C) comprised of a number of historic structures, 
                including the Administration Clock Tower Building, 
                Hotel Florence, Greenstone Church, Market Square, and 
                hundreds of units of rowhouses built for Pullman 
                workers;
            (13) the preservation of the Pullman site has been 
        threatened by--
                    (A) plans for demolition in 1960; and
                    (B) a fire in 1998, which damaged the iconic clock 
                tower and the rear erecting shops;
            (14) the diligent efforts of community organizations, 
        foundations, nonprofits, residents, the State, and units of 
        local government in the restoration and preservation of the 
        District after the 1998 fire were vital to the protection of 
        the Pullman site;
            (15) due to the historic and architectural significance of 
        the District, the District is designated as--
                    (A) a registered National Historic Landmark 
                District;
                    (B) an Illinois State Landmark; and
                    (C) a City of Chicago Landmark District; and
            (16) the preservation, enhancement, economic, and tourism 
        potential and management of the important historic and 
        architectural resources of the Park requires cooperation and 
        partnerships from among local property owners, the Federal 
        Government, the State, units of local government, the private 
        and nonprofit sectors, and the more than 100 civic 
        organizations who have expressed support for community 
        preservation through the establishment of the Pullman National 
        Historical Park.
