Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument Act
This bill establishes the Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument within Illinois' National Park System to preserve and interpret the history of the 1908 Springfield race riot and its connection to the founding of the NAACP. It directly affects the Springfield community, descendants of riot victims, and future visitors by creating a designated site for education and remembrance. Key mechanisms include authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land (via donation, purchase, or exchange), requiring construction of a memorial honoring victims/survivors and the community, and establishing a 11-member advisory commission to guide management. The monument boundaries are defined by a specific map, and the Secretary must develop a management plan within three years of funding.
