Julius Rosenwald and Rosenwald Schools National Historical Park Act

This bill would create the Julius Rosenwald and Rosenwald Schools National Historical Park as part of the National Park System. The park would include the former Sears complex in North Lawndale, Chicago, and Rosenwald School sites in Sharptown, Maryland; Saint George, South Carolina; and Gloucester County, Virginia. The park would be officially established only after the Secretary of the Interior decides enough land has been acquired to manage it. The Secretary could make cooperative agreements and fund preservation work with state, local, and private partners. The bill would also create a Rosenwald Schools National Network within the National Park Service, which could give grants to connected sites and programs.
