Dr. Percy and Dr. Anna Julian Home National Historic Site Act
This bill establishes the Dr. Percy and Dr. Anna Julian Home in Oak Park, Illinois, as a National Historic Site within the National Park System. It requires the Secretary of the Interior to finalize an agreement with the Julian Home for public access, interpretation, and maintenance before designation, and mandates a map of the site boundaries. The site aims to preserve and interpret the Julian family's achievements in chemistry and medicine, their history of overcoming racial discrimination, and their home's resilience against firebomb attempts. The National Park Service will manage the site under existing park system laws, with a management plan due within one year of funding. This designation directly affects the Julian Home property and future visitors, not policy or citizens.
