Georgia would get a new National Historic Site honoring civil rights leader Ralph David Abernathy, Sr.
This bill would create the Ralph David Abernathy, Sr., National Historic Site in Georgia, making it a new part of the National Park System. It would preserve the historic West Hunter Street Baptist Church, where Dr. Abernathy served as pastor, and highlight his role as a civil rights leader. This means the public would have a new place to learn about this important history.
Today, the sites connected to Ralph David Abernathy, Sr., including the West Hunter Street Baptist Church, are not part of the National Park System. This bill would establish these sites as the Ralph David Abernathy, Sr., National Historic Site in Georgia, making them a unit of the National Park System. This would ensure federal protection and resources for preserving and interpreting this important civil rights history for visitors.
