UNITED STATES CIVIL RIGHTS TRAIL SPECIAL RESOURCE
STUDY ACT
SEPTEMBER 27, 2010.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. BINGAMAN, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources, submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 685]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the Act (H.R. 685) to require the Secretary of the Interior
to conduct a special resource study regarding the proposed United
States Civil Rights Trail, and for other purposes, having considered
the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and rec-
ommends that the Act do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of H.R. 685 is to authorize the Secretary of the Inte-
rior to conduct a special resource study to evaluate a range of alter-
natives for protecting and interpreting sites associated with the
struggle for civil rights in the United States.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
There are numerous sites across the United States associated
with historic events of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and
1960s, such as Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham,
Alabama, Tougaloo College in Mississippi, and the F.W. Woolworth
Building in Greensboro, North Carolina. Approximately 50 of these
sites, located in 20 different states, have been nominated for listing
in the National Register of Historic Places. Many are managed by
state or local agencies and organizations committed to their preser-
vation and interpretation. H.R. 685 would authorize a special re-
source study that would assess the sites' importance and value to
the nation's history.
