Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act
To extend the authorization of the African American Civil Rights Network.
This bill, HB9269, aims to extend the authorization of the African American Civil Rights Network. This network helps to preserve and share the history of the African American civil rights movement across the United States. It supports museums, historic sites, and educational programs that tell the stories of this important period.
The bill would impact anyone interested in the civil rights movement, especially educational institutions, historians, and the general public. By continuing to fund and authorize the network, it ensures that resources and educational programs related to African American civil rights remain available and supported.
As of June 11, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Natural Resources. On September 15, 2026, it was discharged from the Subcommittee on Federal Lands and ordered to be reported (amended) by unanimous consent. The bill has already undergone subcommittee hearings and committee consideration.
