SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The central and lower Mississippi Valley region 
        contained the highest population levels and the most complex 
        Native American societies north of Mexico before the arrival of 
        European peoples in the 16th century.
            (2) In addition, the Mississippi Valley has also hosted 
        Spanish, French, English, and ultimately American societies at 
        different times in the last 450 years.
            (3) Blytheville, Arkansas, is centrally located in the 
        Mississippi Valley region.
            (4) Former Eaker Air Force Base, which is located outside 
        of Blytheville, Arkansas, in the central Mississippi Valley 
        region, is the site of 14 archaeological sites associated with 
        Native Americans.
            (5) Because of its value in illustrating and interpreting 
        the heritage of the United States, the largest of these 
        archaeological sites, was recognized by the National Park 
        Service as a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
            (6) Another archaeological site outside of Blytheville, 
        Arkansas, the Chickasawba Mound, was placed on the National 
        Register of Historic Places in 1984 because of its historic and 
        archaeological resources.
            (7) These previous actions by the Department of the 
        Interior recognize that these archaeological sites are likely 
        to benefit, educate, and inspire present and future generations 
        of Americans, but no unified heritage park for the central 
        Mississippi Valley region exists within the National Park 
        Service.
            (8) Blytheville, Arkansas, also possesses many other 
        regionally and nationally significant natural, seismic, 
        cultural, and recreational resources associated with the 
        heritage of the central Mississippi Valley region.
            (9) The sites and resources associated with the heritage of 
        the central Mississippi Valley region require recognition 
        through the establishment of a national historical park for the 
        central Mississippi Valley region as a unit of the National 
        Park System.
            (10) As a result of the closing of Eaker Air Force Base in 
        Blytheville, Arkansas, pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and 
        Realignment Act of 1990, Federal land and facilities are 
        readily available for the establishment of a national 
        historical park for the central Mississippi Valley region to 
        protect the archaeological sites located on the former military 
        installation, as well as to preserve, maintain, and interpret 
        the natural, seismic, cultural, and recreational heritage of 
        the central Mississippi Valley region for the benefit, 
        education, and inspiration of present and future generations of 
        Americans.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Simeon Saunders Booker, Jr., was born on August 27, 
        1918, in Baltimore, Maryland, to Reberta Waring and Simeon 
        Saunders Booker, Sr., a YMCA director and minister.
            (2) After his family moved to Youngstown, Ohio, Booker 
        became interested in journalism.
            (3) Booker promoted and wrote about Negro League baseball 
        teams in Youngstown's local newspaper, The Vindicator.
            (4) In 1945, he moved back to Ohio to work for the Call and 
        Post, where he became the first African-American reporter to 
        win a Newspaper Guild Award for his series on Cleveland, Ohio, 
        slum housing, and a Willkie Award for reporting on racial 
        inequities in the public schools.
            (5) In 1950, Booker was the recipient of the Nieman 
        Fellowship from Harvard University to study journalism and 
        develop his talent as a reporter.
            (6) After leaving Harvard in 1951, Booker became the first 
        full-time African-American reporter at The Washington Post.
            (7) In 1955, he helped to advance the civil rights movement 
        with his famous coverage of the Emmett Till murder and trial, 
        turning a common occurrence in the Deep South into a national 
        tragedy that united the Black community.
            (8) He remained at the forefront of the civil rights 
        movement, reporting on the 1957 integration of Central High 
        School in Little Rock, Arkansas.

        (CORE) Freedom Riders through the Deep South.
            (10) When the Freedom Riders were firebombed and beaten in 
        Anniston, Alabama, in a Ku Klux Klan ambush, Booker arranged 
        for their rescue by calling U.S. Attorney General Robert F. 
        Kennedy.
            (11) In two wartime tours of Vietnam in the 1960s, he 
        interviewed Black troops on the front lines, and took enemy 
        fire in a helicopter with United States Army General William 
        Westmoreland for reports for Jet and Ebony magazines.
            (12) He has chronicled the most tumultuous period in 
        American history in two highly acclaimed books, Shocking the 
        Conscience: A Reporter's Account of the Civil Rights Movement 
        (University Press of Mississippi, 2013), and Black Man's 
        America (Prentice Hall, 1964).
            (13) Often called the ``dean of the black press'', as chief 
        of Ebony and Jet magazines' Washington bureau, he interviewed 
        presidents, senators and representatives, members of the 
        judiciary, cabinet officers, foreign ambassadors, and other 
        important members of the Washington community. His column, 
        ``Ticker Tape U.S.A.'' became a must-read for politicians and 
        government officials.
            (14) He covered every Presidential election since the 
        Eisenhower Administration in his fifty-three years with Johnson 
        Publishing until he retired in 2007.
            (15) In 1982, Booker received one of the most prestigious 
        awards in journalism, the National Press Club's Fourth Estate
