    A bill to expand and redesignate Brown v. Board National 
Historic Site as Brown v. Board National Historical Park, and 
for other purposes.

                          Purpose of the Bill

    The purpose of H.R. 920 is to amend the Act entitled ``Act 
to provide for the establishment of the Brown v. Board of 
Education National Historic Site in the State of Kansas, and 
for other purposes'' to provide for inclusion of additional 
related sites in the National Park System.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    H.R. 920 expands the Brown v. Board of Education National 
Historical Site through the inclusion of the four court case 
sites that were part of the historic Brown v. Board of 
Education of Topeka decision. The sites are Summerton High 
School in South Carolina, which refused to admit the plaintiffs 
in Briggs v. Elliott; the Robert Russa Moton School, which was 
the location of a student-led strike that led to Davis v. 
County School Board of Prince Edward County, Spottswood Thomas 
Bolling, et al., Petitioners, v. C. Melvin Sharpe, President of 
the District of Columbia Board of Education, et al.; Howard 
High School in Wilmington, Delaware, to which the plaintiffs in 
Gebhart v. Belton were forced to travel; and John Philip Sousa 
Junior High School in the District of Columbia, which refused 
to admit plaintiffs in Bolling v. Sharpe.
    In 1992, Congress established the Brown v. Board of 
Education National Historic Site to commemorate the landmark 
Supreme Court case aimed at ending racial segregation in public 
schools and the larger struggle for racial equity. The site 
currently consists of the Monroe Elementary School, one of four 
segregated elementary schools for African American children in 
Topeka, Kansas, and the surrounding grounds.
    On April 26, 2022, Congress passed S. 270, the Senate 
companion of H.R. 920. President Biden signed the bill, and it 
became Public Law No. 117-123.

                            Committee Action

    H.R. 920 was introduced on February 8, 2021, by House

    This bill does not establish or reauthorize a program of 
the federal government known to be duplicative of another 
program.

                               purposes.

      TITLE I--BROWN V. BOARD OF EDUCATION NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE

SEC. 101. DEFINITIONS.

  As used in this title--
          (1) the term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of the 
        Interior.
          (2) The term ``historic site'' means the Brown v. 
        Board of Education National Historic Site as 
        established in section 103.
          (3) The terms ``affiliated area'' and ``affiliated 
        areas'' mean one or more of the locations associated 
        with the four court cases included in Brown v. Board of 
        Education of Topeka described in section 102(a)(8), 
        (9), and (10).

SEC. 102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
          (1) The Supreme Court, in 1954, ruled that the 
        earlier 1896 Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. 
        Ferguson that permitted segregation of races in 
        elementary schools violated the fourteenth amendment to 
        the United States Constitution, which guarantees all 
        citizens equal protection under the law.
          (2) In the 1954 proceedings, Oliver Brown and twelve 
        other plaintiffs successfully challenged an 1879 Kansas 
        law that had been patterned after the law in question 
        in Plessy v. Ferguson after the Topeka, Kansas, Board 
        of Education refused to enroll Mr. Brown's daughter, 
        Linda.
          (3) The Brown case was joined by four other cases 
        related to school segregation pending before the 
        Supreme Court (Briggs v. Elliott, filed in South 
        Carolina; Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward 
        County, Spottswood Thomas Bolling, et al., Petitioners, 
        v. C. Melvin Sharpe, President of the District of 
        Columbia Board of Education, et al., filed in Virginia; 
        Gebhart v. Belton, filed in Delaware; and Bolling v. 
        Sharpe, filed in the District of Columbia) and 
        consolidated into one case named Brown v. Board of 
        Education of Topeka.
