Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a new national historic site dedicated to Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court justice, preserving and interpreting his life and legacy for visitors. The site would be managed by the National Park Service and could include his childhood home, offices, or other locations significant to his career and contributions to civil rights law. The bill affects the National Park System by adding a new protected historic property that Americans could visit to learn about Marshall's role in landmark cases like Brown v. Board of Education.
