Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a new national historical park dedicated to Julius Rosenwald and the schools he funded for African American students in the early 1900s, preserving sites related to this important civil rights history. The park would protect and interpret the legacy of Rosenwald's philanthropy and the educational opportunities these schools provided to Black communities, particularly in the South. Visitors would be able to learn about this overlooked chapter of American history and the impact of private charitable efforts on expanding access to education.
