This bill establishes the Justice Thurgood Marshall National Historic Site at Public School 103 in Baltimore, Maryland, where the legendary civil rights lawyer attended elementary school. The site will be managed as an affiliated area of the National Park System by the Beloved Community Services Corporation, a nonprofit organization that currently owns and operates the restored school building as a museum. The National Park Service previously completed a study in 2023 confirming that the school meets the criteria for national significance and suitability for the Park System. The Department of Interior can provide technical assistance and financial support for the site's preservation, interpretation, and marketing, but does not own or assume financial responsibility for the facility. The bill authorizes whatever funding is necessary to carry out these purposes, though the amount is not specified.
