Summary

What This Bill Does

This bill establishes the Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument in Illinois as part of the National Park System. The monument will preserve and interpret the history of the 1908 Springfield Race Riot, a violent racial attack that directly led to the founding of the NAACP. The bill authorizes land acquisition, memorial construction, and administrative facilities.

Who Benefits and How

The National Park Service gains expanded responsibilities and funding authority for a new unit. The city of Springfield and Sangamon County benefit from increased tourism and federal investment in local historic preservation. Historic preservation organizations and civil rights advocacy groups benefit from formal federal recognition and protection of this significant civil rights site. Construction contractors may receive contracts for memorial and facility construction.

Who Bears the Burden and How

Federal taxpayers bear the cost of land acquisition, memorial construction, and ongoing monument administration. Private landowners within the proposed boundary may face acquisition pressure, though all acquisitions are voluntary (donation, purchase, or exchange only).

  • Establishes Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument as a unit of the National Park System
  • Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land by donation, purchase, or exchange
  • Requires construction of a permanent memorial to victims, survivors, and descendants
