Historic Greenwood District—Black Wall Street National Monument Establishment Act

This bill creates the Historic Greenwood District—Black Wall Street National Monument in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It aims to protect the places linked to the Greenwood District, Black Wall Street, and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, and to share their history with visitors and future generations. The monument is officially set up once the Secretary of the Interior has enough land to run it well, with a public notice issued within 30 days. Its boundary follows a map kept on file by the National Park Service. The Interior Department can accept land donations, buy from willing sellers, or make land swaps. Private property rights of nearby owners are not changed by this bill.

The National Park Service will manage the site like other national parks and prepare a management plan within three years after funds are available. The agency can partner with public and private groups for education, signs, and programs. An 11‑member advisory commission—mostly descendants of people who lived or worked in Greenwood in 1921—will advise on development and visitor services, and will end 10 years after the monument is established .

• Who is affected: Tulsa residents, visitors, and descendants connected to Greenwood; private landowners keep their existing rights .
• What changes: A new national monument is created; land can be acquired from willing sellers or donors; the Park Service manages it and works with partners; an advisory commission guides planning .
• When: The monument begins once enough land is secured and a notice is published; a management plan is due within three years after funding; the commission sunsets 10 years after establishment .
