     SEC. ____02. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the presentation and preservation of African American 
     life, art, history, and culture within the National Park 
     System and other Federal entities are inadequate;
       (2) the inadequate presentation and preservation of African 
     American life, art, history, and culture seriously restrict 
     the ability of the people of the United States, particularly 
     African Americans, to understand themselves and their past;
       (3) African American life, art, history, and culture 
     include the varied experiences of Africans in slavery and 
     freedom and the continued struggles for full recognition of 
     citizenship and treatment with human dignity;
       (4) in enacting Public Law 99-511, the Congress encouraged 
     support for the establishment of a commemorative structure 
     within the National Park System, or on other Federal lands, 
     dedicated to the promotion of understanding, knowledge, 
     opportunity, and equality for all people;
       (5) the establishment of a national museum and the 
     conducting of interpretive and educational programs, 
     dedicated to the heritage and culture of African Americans, 
     will help to inspire and educate the people of the United 
     States regarding the cultural legacy of African Americans and 
     the contributions made by African Americans to the society of 
     the United States; and
       (6) the Smithsonian Institution operates 15 museums and 
     galleries, a zoological park, and 5 major research 
     facilities, none of which is a national institution devoted 
     solely to African American life, art, history, or culture.

     SEC. ____03. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN 
                   MUSEUM.
