Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley and Roberts Temple National Historic Site Act
This bill establishes the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley and Roberts Temple National Historic Site in Chicago, Illinois, as a unit of the National Park System. It requires the Secretary of the Interior to create the site only after securing an agreement with Roberts Temple Church (the Roberts Temple) for public access, interpretation, and maintenance. The site preserves and interprets resources tied to the Great Migration, Emmett Till’s memorial service, Mamie Till-Mobley’s activism following her son’s murder, and the civil rights movement. The National Park Service will administer the site under standard park laws, with management plans developed in coordination with Roberts Temple. The site directly affects Roberts Temple Church (as the managing partner) and the public (through access to historical resources).
