AI Summary

Establishes the Justice Thurgood Marshall National Historic Site as an affiliated area of the National Park System to preserve and recognize the historic elementary school building associated with Justice Thurgood Marshall. The local nonprofit that owns and operates the school (the designated management entity) will continue to own and manage the property while the Secretary of the Interior may provide technical and financial assistance and must enter into a management agreement with that entity.

The law authorizes Congress to appropriate whatever funds are necessary to implement the Act but does not set a dollar amount, create any federal acquisition authority for the property, or make the Secretary fully financially responsible for the site.
