The legislation would honor wartime efforts of the Richmond community by adding the Nystrom Elementary School in Richmond, California to the existing Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. Joining him in testifying about the importance of this bill is Richmond Mayor Tom Butt. An advocate for historic preservation in the city of Richmond, Mayor Butt serves on the board of the Rosie the Riveter Trust and was instrumental in establishing Richmond's partnership position with the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. WHO: U.S. Congressman Mark DeSaulnier Mayor Tom Butt WHAT: Testimony before Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands on the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Site Expansion Act (H.R. 1117) WHEN: Tuesday, December 7th 7:30 a.m. PT LINK: https://youtu.be/anLmObjGAy8 "Richmond and West Contra Costa played a pivotal role in our nation's efforts in World War II. We owe it to the families who helped write that history to share their stories. Expanding the park to include the Nystrom School, which was built to teach the children of shipyard workers, will help tell the story of the East Bay's role in the war," said Congressman DeSaulnier. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
