Establishing Justice Thurgood Marshall National Historic Site in Maryland.
This Act establishes the Justice Thurgood Marshall National Historic Site in Baltimore, Maryland, at the location of his former elementary school (Public School 103). Although the site will remain owned and operated by a non-profit organization, its designation as an affiliated area of the National Park System provides federal technical and financial assistance for preservation and interpretation. This ensures citizens have access to a federally recognized educational site commemorating a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement and the end of legal segregation.
