Historic Greenwood District—Black Wall Street National Monument Establishment Act

This bill establishes the Historic Greenwood District - Black Wall Street National Monument in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to preserve and interpret the history of the Greenwood District (known as "Black Wall Street"), the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, and their significance to Oklahoma and U.S. history. It defines the monument's boundary using a specific map, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land via donation or purchase, and requires a management plan within three years. The bill creates an 11-member advisory commission composed of 7 descendants of 1921 Greenwood residents, 3 historic preservation experts, and 1 Tulsa mayoral appointee, serving for up to 10 years. The monument will be managed by the National Park Service under standard park system rules, with no impact on private property rights within the designated area.
