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 site in Chicago, Illinois, and Rosenwald School sites in Sharptown, Maryland; Saint George, South Carolina; and Gloucester County, Virginia. The park would not be officially established until the Secretary of the Interior determines enough land has been acquired to manage it. The bill would also allow cooperative agreements and funding for preservation and set up a Rosenwald Schools National Network within the National Park Service, which could provide grants to related sites and programs.
