AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create the Ralph David Abernathy, Sr., National Historic Site in Georgia as part of the National Park System. The site would preserve and interpret the historic West Hunter Street Baptist Church, where Dr. Abernathy served as pastor during the civil rights movement, and his role as a civil rights leader. The site would be officially established only after the Secretary of the Interior decides enough land has been acquired to manage it. The Secretary could acquire land by donation, by purchase from willing sellers, or by exchange, but land owned by the State of Georgia or local governments could only be donated. The Secretary would have to complete a management plan within 3 years after funding is first provided and could make agreements with the state or other groups for signs, exhibits, parking, tours, and preservation.
