Creates a network to protect and preserve African American civil rights historic sites.
The problem
Historic African American civil rights locations face threats from neglect, development, and loss of historical documentation and preservation efforts.
The proposal
Establishes the African American Civil Rights Network to coordinate preservation, protection, and public education at significant civil rights historic sites nationwide.
The impact
African American communities, historians, educators, and tourists gain better access to preserved civil rights history and educational resources.
Protects historic sites connected to the Civil Rights Movement so future generations can learn about this crucial period. Helps prevent valuable buildings and landmarks from being forgotten or destroyed.
Historic site tourism can bring visitors and economic activity to local areas. Communities gain resources and attention for preserving their heritage and telling their stories.
Creates coordinated educational programs and resources about the Civil Rights Movement. Students and the public get better access to accurate historical information.
Formally recognizes the importance of African American struggles for equality. Validates and celebrates a major chapter of American history.
Creating and running a national network requires government funding. Taxpayers bear the cost of staff, maintenance, and operations at multiple sites.
Managing a network across many states and private sites could be complicated. Different groups may have disagreements about how sites should be preserved or presented.
Focuses narrowly on African American civil rights history. Other communities and historical topics may feel their heritage deserves equal preservation efforts.

No donor data found for current cycle
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
