Historic Greenwood District—Black Wall Street National Monument Establishment Act

This bill would create the Historic Greenwood District–Black Wall Street National Monument in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as part of the National Park System, to preserve and interpret sites tied to Greenwood, Black Wall Street, and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The monument would be formally established once the Secretary of the Interior decides enough land has been acquired, which could happen through donation, purchase from willing sellers, or exchange. The Secretary would have to write a management plan within 3 years after funds are first provided. The bill also creates an 11-member unpaid advisory commission, including 7 descendants of people who lived or worked in Greenwood in 1921, which would end 10 years after the monument is established.
