Ralph David Abernathy, Sr. National Historic Site Act
This bill establishes the Ralph David Abernathy, Sr. National Historic Site in Atlanta, Georgia, to preserve the West Hunter Street Baptist Church (where Dr. Abernathy served as pastor during the civil rights movement) and honor his legacy as a civil rights leader. It defines the site's boundary using a specific map and requires the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land (primarily through donation) before formally establishing the site. The bill is procedural, creating a National Park System unit with standard administrative rules and requiring a management plan within three years of funding. It directly affects the preservation of this historic church and its surrounding area in Georgia.
