Bills to create historic sites often get support from both parties, but this one is still in the early stages of the lawmaking process.
Key Points
This bill would create the Justice Thurgood Marshall National Historic Site in Baltimore, Maryland. It focuses on Public School 103, which is the building where Marshall attended elementary school as a child.
The site would become an official part of the National Park System. While a local nonprofit group would still own and run the building, the federal government would provide expert help and money to maintain the museum and teach visitors about Marshall's life.
The goal is to honor Marshall's legacy as a civil rights lawyer and the first Black person to serve on the Supreme Court. He is best known for winning the case that ended legal racial segregation in American public schools.
The National Park Service already studied the school and found it is a perfect fit for the park system. This law would officially give it that special status so future generations can learn about the fight for equal rights.
