S. 791 establishes the Justice Thurgood Marshall National Historic Site in Baltimore, Maryland as an affiliated area of the National Park System. The site centers on Public School 103, located at 1315 Division Street, where Marshall attended elementary school before becoming a groundbreaking civil rights lawyer and the first African American Supreme Court Justice. The Beloved Community Services Corporation, a nonprofit organization that owns and operates the building as a museum, will serve as the management entity and retain ownership of the property. The National Park Service may provide technical assistance, financial support for marketing and preservation, and enter into cooperative agreements, but will not acquire the building or assume financial responsibility for its operation. The bill authorizes whatever appropriations are necessary to implement these provisions.
